In my project I use pdm to manage my dependencies.
among other things, pdm let me set up a central cache for all the installed packages

Unfortunately it seems that the "binaries" (for example designer, linguist, etc..) offered by pyside packages do not work properly if installed in this way.

If I try to run them all I get is a stacktrace that ends up with

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/zed/.cache/pdm/packages/pyside6_addons-6.10.0-cp39-abi3-manylinux_2_34_x86_64.whl.cache/PySide6/designer'

...witch is true, as the file is offered by pyside6_essentials, not pyside6_addons

from a very quick view of the issue it seems that qt_tool_wrapper (in the module PySide6.scripts.pyside_tool) tries to get the executable absolute path from the PySIde6 "directory".

def qt_tool_wrapper(qt_tool, args, libexec=False):
    # Taking care of pyside6-uic, pyside6-rcc, and pyside6-designer
    # listed as an entrypoint in setup.py
    pyside_dir = Path(ref_mod.__file__).resolve().parent
    if libexec and sys.platform != "win32":
        exe = pyside_dir / 'Qt' / 'libexec' / qt_tool
    else:
        exe = pyside_dir / qt_tool

I think that, when trying to get the pyside_dir it's not correct (nor needed in the first place) to `.resolve()` the link.

In fact in a simple test I did removing it the issue was fixed.

Is it possible to apply this change?
