[Bug 76326] Konqueror should be able to parse .lnk files

[Matthew Flaschen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: konqueror

Windows uses a .lnk (Shell link) file format for shortcut files.  The
Windows implementation is described at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/ifaces/ishelllink/ishelllink.asp .
These are similar to the Konqueror .desktop files, and can refer to
files or folders.  It would be very useful if Konqueror could parse
them.  For instance, I have a dual-boot machine with a shared data
partition and it would be helpful to use .lnk folder shortcuts on both
operating systems.  I realize this is quite complicated, because the
mountpoint/drive letter will differ.  However, Konqueror could attempt
to resolve it relatively. An example .lnk file will be attached.
