Unable to create a tar file due to link

Can someone help create a symbolic link where I append my own string to the name of the link?

I have my code mounted as an sshfs in my home directory, but the hierarchy is difficult to remember, so I created a symlink in my home directory leading to that directory.

I have a symbolic link to a file in one directory. I would like to have that same link in another directory. How do I copy a symbolic link?

I tried to cp the symbolic link but this copies the file it points to instead of the symbolic link itself.

Say under directory /usr/local/boost_1_52_0/stage/lib, I have a symbolic link: libboost_timer.so, which points to the regular file libboost_timer.so.1.52.0 in the same directory.

How can I cp the symbolic links to directory /usr/local/lib while pointing to the same file /usr/local/boost_1_52_0/stage/lib/libboost_timer.so.1.52.0.

I have searched and tried several options.
