I don't see how space-saving comes into it (though it could help for
putting all the space on a different drive).
$wgUploadPath is a URL path, rather than a filesystem path. A symlink
is a simple way to handle the mapping between the URL path and the
filesystem path. An Apache alias would probably also work fine. I
don't think it can be done in LocalSettings.php alone.
