This feature was not added to Workflow because calculating security for all paths for possibly thousands of search results is somewhat expensive on the Laserfiche Server and it does slow down searches.

It was our understanding that most of the time, the shortcut being deleted was created by the same workflow, so there would already be a reference to it from the activity that created it. In the rest of the use cases, the Retrieve Shortcuts activity is available to find all shortcuts for a given document. This activity can be used in conjunction with a For Each Entry activity to check the paths and delete an individual shortcut.

Miruna, thank you for the explanation and solution.
