Where is the symlink created for a generated Yocto sdcard image

Question

I modified an existing Yocto class (sdcard_image-rpi.bbclass) which generates an SD card image. The new class has a different name as well. Everything works as expected with one exception. When bitbake is finished, symlinks are created, which point to the last built file. For the .sdcard file this symlink is not created.

It is only not clear to me where (or in which stage) this symlink should be created.

Any suggestions what might causing this ?

class file content added below. (Removed the partitioning and copy opererations for clarity). This file is derived from meta-raspberrypi and on some locations the name "rpi-sdimg" is replaced by "dual-sdimg".

The original file does not contain a command to create a symlink to the generated sdcard image, which implies it should be done outside this class. Most likely the changed name influenced this.
