Hello @DamoBird365
This is awesome and very helpful. Thanks a lot. I added the sharepoint document folder location to my Dynamics 365 where I now see the shortcut, but when I click on it, it is not opening immediately but downloading the URL to my PC.
Is there a way to overcome this?

Hi @RL91
A shortcut to a SharePoint Folder is simply the path of the folder(s) after the root of the Document Library URL. So where a site address is:
https://sharepointtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/DamoBird365/Shared%20Documents
and the folder(s) you are looking to navigate to are called:
1111-Project Name
Your link for the SharePoint folder will be :
https://sharepointtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/DamoBird365/Shared%20Documents/1111-Project Name
You can then create a url file on another doc lib like so:
