You can move the complete packages folder and the point MSFS to the new location.
Move “packages” folder (contains Official and community).
When MSFS next starts, change path (double click on path (not UPDATE) and change location as needed then UPDATE and it should work.
Thereafter it will update official store in the new location when updates are published.
Addon linker is good but it still uses community folder for all the links
I use it to load unload areas and/or added scenery/aircraft , my packages folder is 204 gb and my addons folder is in excess of 1.5 terrabyte
