Ow... That explains it all.

So let me clarify myself, what you want is (for Windows compatibility) to
hide .lnk and act as if they were symlinks right? Well,  I think that's a
great idea ( and if we want it to work on every program a kernel module is
certainly needed) but I wonder whether we should hide it's extension (As I
would like to help to recognize that's still a Windows link not a Linux
one).
However, I'm against doing that for ".url", it should be clear what it is
anyway, and unlike the .lnk case I find the benefits quite dubious/small,
if this were to be implemented I would recommend it to be through the file
manager and a screenshot of the page as icon.

Hmm... I don't want to limit Linux, what happens in Windows with this? The
error is as fs level or the os level?

Certainly, it would be a nice feature.
