Can a file, not a directory, have a reparse point?

I know junction points are implemented with reparse points, and junction points can apply to directories only.

I just wonder if a reparse point can be attached to a file and behaves as a junction point?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, files can have reparse points. The mklink tool (among many others) can create those.

Thanks,
