Hi Michael, what I was suggesting was to craft the shortcut file on the desktop manually or semi-manually. I'm lacking the knowledge of how OSes (Linux, Mac, most Windows versions) handle this. On Windows 7 you can create a link by right-clicking on the desktop and select shortcut. It allows to input a URL. Either by typing or by copying. If OSes inspect drag-and-drop operations I guess they could inspect copy operations maybe for the purpose of checking if a link is "safe", so typing would be safer. Anyway, if I create such a shortcut and double click it afterwards, the system default browser is opened. Because of this not seeming to be helpful I was hoping for others to come up with better ways.
