    It's a good idea.  Go ahead and add it to the hammer utility.
    Maybe call it 'hammer snapshot <softlink-directory> [<filesystem>]'
    (where the filesystem need only be specified if the softlink 
    directory is not in the desired filesystem).
Is there an easy way to determine the filesystem a path belongs to?

I'd suggest an extension:

  mkdir /hammer/softlinks
  hammer snapshot /hammer/softlinks  # => /hammer/softlinks/<transid>
  hammer snapshot /hammer/softlinks/soft1 # => name snapshot "soft1"
