I could try to add it to WiX. I used more or less standard BrowseDlg, only added custom action to restrict walking the tree above Programs folder, and several other shortcut validation rules.
It's all based on a custom action in a DLL. Others may have different validation rules, I could try to generalize my code and make it configurable to certain degree. Will it be good enough?
