Will symbolic links created in unix (linux/osx) still working in windows?

Question

Is it possible to create a symbolic link with relative path in linux/osx, move the complete folder to windows system and still be able to use the links?

Say a structure is following:

> ln -s ../c/e d

./a
  |
  |-/b
  |  |
  |  |-d -> ../c/e // symlink
  |  
  |-/c
     |
     |-e // original file

so ./a/b/d is a symlink to ./a/c/e. So will this still work on windows, if I will move the whole ./a directory there?

Update:

I found some related questions, but there is no information about relative paths and osx case or they are a bit outdated (2007):

No, on Windows the symbolic link will just show as a file containing the location of the file the symbolic link pointed to.
