Shortcut to data on android 11?

I noticed recently that my homescreen shortcut to a folder in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/ was missing.
When I try to recreate it (browse to the folder in Total Commander - it navigates to the folder just fine - long press and select Create Link On Desktop) it creates the shortcut icon. However, clicking the icon gives an error saying : "Not Found" followed by the directory.
Essentially Total Commander app is working fine but Total Caommander shortcuts aren't.
Is this the new normal?
I'm on a oneplus 7 pro w/ android 11
Thanks!

This folder is protected on Android 11 and 12 and invisible - Android returns an error when trying to access it. TC shows its own folder there when this happens, but links don't work because the folder isn't valid. Either create a link to TC's own folder, or click on "->installed apps" to access the virtual folder, and then create a link to that.
