This, unfortunately, isn't very likely as Windows 95 "shortcuts" are actually .PIF files. You can view them, more-or-less, as a short batch file that runs the original when you run it. Even under Windows 95, they don't work to well, and while it _might_, barely, be possible to treat shortcuts as symbolic links, going the other way around probably can't work at all.
