I don't know. Even in Windows such a method might require the full path
in the supplied shortcuts, which would be a problem. Another method
would be for IBM to provide a script that builds the shortcuts, and of
course that could be different code depending on the platform.
Thanks but no thanks for your symlinks. I only use them when necessary
in Linux and basically have little idea how they work. ln -s is about
all I ever do, and even with that I get the source/target names
backwards almost every time.

Maybe IBM could include such alias links in their big zip file, and save
us from having to make updates to our scripts every time their html
index format changes - i.e. every time :)
Portabilit? Would your proposed .zip work in?:
UNIX: symlinks
MacOS: Aliases (but symlinks worl)
Windows: Shortcuts (but Cygwin has symlinks.
Does Windows Explorer understand Cytwin
symlinks? My script works in MacOS and
Linux. I'd expect Cygwin and z/OS UNIX.
Win 10 might be better.)
I could send you mine.
