Linux - Executing a command in a Softlink

Question

Working on a lab, one of the exercises asks me to create a softlink called simple, no problem. I don't understand this next part though. Can anyone give me a tip?

"There is a command called 'showtree' in the directory you just linked to. Execute this command using the newly created 'simple' link."

Answer 1

I think he simply meant using ./softlink/showtree to execute the command.
