Hi Martin! In my opinion, a shortcut should never infer a long-path. - IMHO the purpose of a long-path is to provide additional info (e.g. a date), but the shortcut cannot infer that - the purpose of a shortcut is to allow simpler representation, so why also infer a more complex but incomplete representation (no additional details)? - in cases when both shortcut and long-path are provided explicitly, an inferred long-path would be superfluous (duplicate), or a system needs to go through extra effort to somehow correlate the inferred to an existing long-path Cheers!
