I have text file on disc /media/pc/Data/
How to open the text file using a symbolic link on /home/pc/Desktop/
I can mount (double click on the Data icon, which I have on the Desktop) and then the symbolic link is working.
But can I acces the text file just with double clicking on the symbolic link?

No the file system must be mounted or it’s contents are not accessible.

And can I add something to Session and Startup - to mount automaticly /media/pc/Data/ ?

use disk manager to add the device to your /etc/fstab so its mounted every boot. its installed by default on MX.
you'll probably want to mount the device under /media/Data instead of /media/$USER/Data.
