Can I do this safely on Ubuntu

Can I do this safely on Ubuntu

I had this idea about mounting disk drives among different users. I would
create a folder called say /media/diskXYZ . Then I would make a softlink
from /media/user1/diskXYZ to /media/diskXYZ , and from
/media/user2/diskXYZ to /media/diskXYZ . The intention is that two users
can have the disk mounted at the same time, and programs that have a
folder name hardwired in will work whichever user mounted it. I didn't
want to do it because I wasn't sure if it was safe.
Will it work?
Is this safe?
