reactjs - Which part of Webpack is responsible to watching for changes in npm link(ed) dependencies?

Question

I am developing a tool called npm-hardlink to hard link dependencies rather than use npm link which has a history of breaking React external components.

I am trying to figure out which part of create-react-app's Webpack setup is responsible for watching for changes in npm link(ed) dependencies?

When I link a dependency using npm link and change a file in the dependency, a hot reload is triggered.

The same isn't true if the dependency is hard linked.
