[logback-user] Query reg. symlink to the latest log file

Hi,
Is it possible to automatically create a link whenever a new file is 
opened for logging? Elaborating, I am using a filenaming convention 
based on time. For ex.

access.log-2013-09-20
access.log-2013-09-21
access.log-2013-09-22

Now, whenever the new log file is generated, I want a symlink 
"access.log" pointing to the latest log file.

Is this possible using some hook? If I were to implement it by extending 
an appender, could some pointers be provided on how I could get it done?

Regards,
Rahul.
