How to create a File System Shortcut?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 3,340

I need a way to create a shortcut to a file in sharepoint in a shared folder on a server.  Is there a way to do this?

 

*UPDATED*

 

I think what I really need is an executable web link.

    I did some messing around.  I found that the file contents of a url shortcut is just text.  So, I was able to create a file with a Create File action, and use a variable to assemble the necessary text.  My example does not show a dynamic object for the filename, but that is what I will do next.  This worked, so its all good!
