I have a unique request from a user to create shortcuts (desktop shortcuts) in a folder based on a field in a table. I am guessing I need to attempt to use the PythonCaller, but before I went too far down this rabbit hole, I figured I'd reach out to see if anyone had any ideas. Any information or guidance is appreciated.
You'll probably have to install something like the winshell and/or win32 extensions, but then it should be fairly easy. You can find several examples here:

There are also several tutorials, e.g.: https://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2010/01/23/using-python-to-create-shortcuts/

I appreciate it. A few other processes/translations were just as effective and much easier to maintain. I am hoping they go along with one of those.
Come to think of it, I'm sure you could use Powershell through a SystemCaller, might just be the easiest solution. For example: https://superuser.com/a/836818
