I don't think so. Contrast the behavior of the Insert -> Graphics
dialog with the File -> Open dialog.
With both dialogs I get exactly the same behavior (the .lnk file is
opened). File -> Open hides shortcuts by default because it's looking
for .lyx files while Insert -> Graphics shows all files (*.*).
Perhaps my PC is charmed? I just created 'Lecture Notes.lnk' on my
desktop, pointing to a folder several levels deep under My Documents.
This is on XP Home. In LyX 1.5.4, I click File -> Open..., click the
button for the Desktop, and see icons for My Documents, My Computer, My
Network Places, all the folders on my desktop, the link, and all the
.lyx files on the desktop. I double click the link icon, and the dialog
display switches to all the .lyx files in the target folder to which the
link points.
I also tried this with a link pointing directly to a LyX file.
Selecting that link from the desktop in the File -> Open... dialog
entered file_name.lyx.lnk in the file name field, but when I clicked
open it did indeed open the correct LyX file.
