Windows Explorer, shortcut to desktop.

SUMMARY
This feature is basically a rip-off of an ability Windows Explorer has: being
able to create a shortcut of a file or folder, on the Desktop. I think it would
be a neat addition to folks that have desktop icons enabled, and to Windows
refugees (done in part by the Steam Deck). Symlinks already do the job well,
but it isn't as intuitive as 'Right-click > Copy to > Copy to Desktop
(Shortcut)'. There's also a third-party service by Intika that allows this:
