Getting a stack to create a shortcut
I am working on an installer app. I have figured out how to make it create the folders in the designated place, and place my executable file where i need it to be. What i haven't figured out, is how to get it to create shortcuts. I could save those shortcuts as a custom property the same way I did the executable, but the problem with that is that if the end user changes the destination directory the shortcuts won't work. How can I get my stack to interact with the OS and create shortcuts?

Hi magice,
check "alias" in the docs (Rev dictionary), that is what you are looking for!
And remember to add ".lnk" to the alias/shortcut file on Windows, won't work otherwise.
Name the shortcut whatever you like on a Mac however

Thank you Klaus. Once again you have pointed me exactly where i needed to look. Also Thank you for not giving me too much info. I learn more when I have to experiment to make it work.
