Advertised shortcuts are more common that you imagine, and more normal too.
Anytime you look at the properties of a shortcut and the Target is greyed out,
it'll be an advertised shortcut (differentiating from advertised features).
Every Office 2003 shortcut looks like that, so clearly a LOT of people have
used them and seen them!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Trouble with Shortcuts...
Creating a shortcut shouldn't be a "complication". Until I did my installer
with WiX nobody in the company had ever seen an "advertised" shortcut... only
a couple of them had even heard of them. Nobody actually wants them, but I was
forced to use them for the same reason, to avoid the complication of creating a
plain ordinary shortcut. Kind of ridiculous when you think about it. A
"normal" shortcut should be straight-forward.

I don't have a sample like that on hand. The WiX setup uses advertised
shortcuts, in part to avoid this complication. Feel free to enter a
feature request so we don't lose the need for a sample.
