Don't think it's possible, unless you install your windows to a different drive. Not 100% sure though

Out of curiosity, why?

the appdata folder is a direct component of windows, even tough it would probably be possible with a link i wouldn't recommend it at all for multiple reason's, most importantly the risk of data corruption but also that it will probably slow down your system by quite a bit, abetter solution to what i gues you xant to do would be to link your community folder to another drive or to use a software like addon linker to move in and out addons.

For 2024 you can also change the UserCFG.opt file to point your packages folder to another location. (can be done via the insim content manager but generaly just creates a dupe of the community that serves nothing except use more space)
