Exclude all symbolic link folders from OneDrive sync

Question

I work on many projects that are saved on my local OneDrive folder that are then synced using OneDrive to the cloud. In each project, I use symbolic links (aka symlinks) to link to data stored on secured network drives (outside of OneDrive). I do not want these linked folders to backup on OneDrive sync. This is easy enough to do individually, but is there a way to exclude all symlinked folders from OneDrive sync? Or is it possible to omit all folders called "secure_data", for example, across all of OneDrive?

Thank you, Daniel

You can create a Power Automate task.

Click on the ellipsis button besides your folder in the on-line version of One-Drive and choose Automate
