Seems there is a workaround here:

I will try this next

Another idea from here:
spatialaudio/nbsphinx#170 (comment)

print("Copy example notebooks into docs/_examples")

def all_but_ipynb(dir, contents):
    result = []
    for c in contents:
        if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(dir,c)) and (not c.endswith(".ipynb")):
            result += [c]
    return result


shutil.rmtree(os.path.join(project_root, "docs/_examples"), ignore_errors=True)
shutil.copytree(os.path.join(project_root, "examples"),
                os.path.join(project_root, "docs/_examples"),
                ignore=all_but_ipynb)

This is very hacky, but would most probably also work and would require less.nblinkfiles

Another test with automated notebook link creation:

import json
from pathlib import Path

all_notebooks = !find Python/*.ipynb
for num, notebook in enumerate(all_notebooks):
    p=Path(notebook)
    names =  {"path": f"../../{p}"}
    print(names)
    base = Path('docs/source')
    jsonpath = base / (    p.stem + ".nblink")
    base.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
    jsonpath.write_text(json.dumps(names))

Edit:
But now the problem is, that images are not copied.

I found here another idea (spatialaudio/nbsphinx#170 (comment)):

My favorite option is indeed moving the notebooks to the docs/ folder and creating a symbolic link back to wherever else they should appear.

... but then the test might fail again, and symbolic links are also not the best solution.
