    Yes, via symlinks or hardlinks.

    It is not a great idea, however.

    It is better to put this into a separate version control repository instead, and reuse the same repository by each project. This way you'd be able to modify the folder in each project, without breaking every other project.

    Packages!

    Common code/assets go into a package so you can easily share it between projects and have the package in a central (version controlled) location.

    Symlinks/hardlinks will have Unity throw Console errors all the time, telling you it disabled file change detection or something.
