This sounds like something that will need to be updated with every new
releases rather than having some somehow fixed path. This was also a
non-issue when Boxes was using iso-read, but is now more complicated
since it chose to switch to libarchive (but not impossible). From a
quick reading of libarchive page about link handling, I'm under the
impression that it's writing which is hard, I'm not sure reading is that
complicated, and I think reading is enough in the Fedora case.

Short version: I don't think this is a great change, and this is
something Boxes can/should handle, so NACK from me.
