I might be misunderstanding what you are trying to do, but similar to this recent discussion, it's worth keeping in mind that shortcuts don't have the same full standing that folders and documents do. So for a shortcut to be the source entry, the action can only be something like a move of the shortcut; any metadata that is modified belongs to the target entry even if the user accessed it through a shortcut. And when you talk about a url for a shortcut - if this is a document shortcut (which I think it is, based on the screenshots) - there isn't really a way in the web client to reference the shortcut as a distinct entity from the target. DocView.aspx will only show the target entry. What you could do is to open the parent folder of the shortcut, but then it might not be clear what entry is of interest.
