Shortcut Support

• Allow creating, editing, and exporting of RDP files for applications that refer to .lnk files (without crashing).
• When adding a RemoteApp and a shortcut is selected (instead of an exe), allow the option to preserve the shortcut path instead of resolving it to the exe.

Currently, when adding a remoteapp and selecting a .lnk file, the resolved exe path is returned by the OpenFileDialog. It's not RemoteApp Tool resolving it.

According to this post, you can allow selecting lnk files by using OpenFileDialog.DereferenceLinks.

But my guess is that most users want lnk files resolved to exe files. So how might RemoteApp Tool provide the option to select .lnk files, without adding any complication to the process of adding an app (for normal users), and without cluttering the UI?

I have not investigated, but I believe there is a way to customize the OpenFileDialog. If so, perhaps a checkbox could be added "Don't resolve shortcuts" (unticked by default).
