We have a situation where we are looking to distribute one daily report across a groups of users.  This can easily be done via Workflow routing to groups, as it will put a shortcut in each user folder.

Then when each user reads or opens the document we want to be able to remove their shortcut.  

Ideally, we would be able to key off an open document event, but none exists.

Manually deleting the shortcut would work, but we don't let them delete from these folders, and access rights do not let us differentiate between shortcuts and documents.  

Any other action impacts the source document which might be shared by as many as 20 users.

We'd be OK with creation multiple copies of the document for each user's folder, but that is not an option for the Route to Group task.

Short of hacking the audit trail tables, is there a way to let us remove these shortcuts as each user opens the item?

Thanks in advance -
