Code model gets confused with windows SUBST drives

I use windows subst drives to simplify locations of files and make things unified between machines. 

I perform this by having this registry entry: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\DOS Devices

and add a string entry. For example:

name: w:

contents: ??\C:\Users\user\w_drive

This is quite useful and it is enabled at every boot. 

In the last versions of Qt creator, I think it started with 7.0, I open a C++ file from a CMake project. I get the file location as w: drive. Example w:\code.cpp but when pressing F2 to go to the definition of some fucntion in the headers, it goes to the real file location: C:\Users\user\w_drive\code.h which sometimes leads to QtCreator to have 2 instances of the same file opened, one from w: drive and one from c:\users\user\w_drive. 

This problem affects the code model that is sometimes does not know where to find function definitions in cpp if you press F2 from the header file.

this might be a problem in clang rather than QTcreator or how QtCreator uses clang for file indexing

I will be happy to provide more details if needed
