using "gf" or "^Wf" with symlinked files?

Discovered today that the following doesn't do what I hoped (though I
can understand why). To demonstrate

$ mkdir a b
$ cd a
$ echo hello > included.txt
$ echo include included.txt > including.txt
$ cd ../b
$ ln -s ../a/including.txt include_in_b.txt
$ vim include_in_b.txt

Now putting the cursor on "included.txt" in the file and using either
is unable to find the target/included file because the linked file is
actually in a remote folder. Of course, doing

$ cd ../a
$ vim including.txt

or

:cd ../a

inside vim works as expected, letting me use "gf" and friends to jump
to the included files without issue.

Is there a simple way to get "gf"/"^Wf" (and any others in the same
family of functions) to chase the link to find the corresponding file
as if that target's directory was in 'path'?

Thanks!

(the actual context is a remind(1) reminder file where ~/.reminders
is a link to ~/.config/remind/reminders.rem which includes each of my
individual calendar files are in that ~/.config/remind/ directory, so
editing ~/.reminders doesn't give me quick access to the per-calendar
subfiles that get included if I use "gf" and friends)
