When I made my installer with WiX was the first time I had ever seen the
greyed out target. Everyone in the office that I mentioned it to indicated
that it was new to them I don't use MS Office, and the Office users around
here weren't familiar with them. So they may have used them, but they
didn't know it :-). I would have to disagree that they are "more normal"
just based on my experience. They certainly aren't "better" given that the
user is left wondering what the exact nature of the target is, and the user
has no ability to tweak it, such as adding a command line argument.
What exactly is the difference between an advertised shortcut and an
advertised feature? I had assumed that an advertised shortcut was simply an
implementation detail of advertised features.

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!
