Very clear. I just ran your command and replaced the paths and it worked.
Now, here's a question I have: Whatever I do in this newly created symlinked
folder...does svn treat it as if I was directly in the folder or inside the
source project? Thanks your example was very clear.

If $REPO is the URL to your repository, then:
cd /working/copy/of/ProjA/trunk
svn propset svn:externals "libs $REPO/ProjD" .
svn ci -m "Adding external to bring $REPO/ProjD into this project into a
directory called libs"
It's explained in the book:
