I came across a method for doing this a while back, and found it again by
searching for "url shortcut wix" at live.com. Try:
http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/03/18/new-wix-feature-internet-shortcuts/.
It looks like you roll to a recent build of WiX it should have the support
built in.

Subject: [WiX-users] is there a way of creating url based shortcut w/o having
to refer to iexplore.exe as target and url as arguments?
Is there a way of creating url based shortcut w/o having to refer to
iexplore.exe as target and url as arguments? In the excerpt below I'm
creating a web site vdir and I'd like to include a shortcut that allows users
after setup of the service completes to launch and test one of the urls exposed
by the vdir. Using what I have in place currently doesn't result in the noted
shortcut with http://... For a Target setting being created. Elsewhere I'm
creating shortcuts the same way using actual setup installed .exe references as
the Target value and they do successfully get created.
