Suggest adding a command to create relative path shortcuts

[axxccc]

Currently Total Commander lacks a command and parameters to create relative path shortcuts, can this feature be added in the upcoming version 11?

... create relative path shortcuts ...

How could that work?
Do you have a API reference from Microsoft?

How would you use this?
You could use a batch file with relative syntax "cd \..\..\Folder" or "CD sub\sub\folder"

It's better to abandon lnk files in favor of symbolic links with zero size. NTLinksMaker is able to create relative links.

Windows doesn't allow links which contain just a relative path.

Total Commander 11 beta now supports relative paths with the following lnk file targets:
%WinDir%\System32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll, ShellExec_RunDLL ..\..\Folder
%WinDir%\System32\rundll32.exe url.dll, FileProtocolHandler ..\..\Folder
%WinDir%\System32\rundll32.exe url.dll, OpenURL ..\..\Folder
%WinDir%\explorer.exe ..\..\Folder

You will need to edit a link via Alt+Enter to change it from an absolute to a relative path using one of the above writings.
