Description
I think it could be useful in general (as well as for my specific use case, described below) if `.lnk` shortcut files would display the Target Path (probably with the prefix `Target:`) below the currently displayed Location Path.
This is particularly useful for the following scenario: I have my Recents folder (`%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Items`) indexed by Everything, and I have this folder added to my Quick Access Links in Flow. This allows me to type `recent` into Flow, then `Tab` to expand it and `>` to search a list of recent files and folders (and, of course, a Custom Query Hotkey makes all this even quicker!). But since the Windows Recent Items folder is a special folder it is full only of `.lnk` files and thus the path information is useless in this case.
Now, while it would be nifty to add special handling for this unique folder (such that instead of displaying File/Folder Location Path at all we only displayed the `.lnk` Target), the easier and more universally useful thing would be an option to _additionally_ display the Target Path beneath Location Path for all `.lnk` files. This would allow me to distinguish between multiple Target files of the same name (but different Target locations) and more quickly isolate what I am looking for. :)
Thanks for considering my request!
Edit: Meant to add that I wonder if this request overlaps at all with https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher/issues/2390, at least in terms of some of the backend code?
