WinURL - assigns associations to internet shortcuts *.url and creates them
After installation, the *.url files will be opened by the default browser. The *.url icons will take the form of Internet Explorer; you can immediately see that the file "came" from Windows (C). Now, as in Windows, you can open and create compatible Internet shortcuts in Linux. The program checks the names of the created files the *.url is checked for Linux <> Windows compatibility, automatically replaces incorrect characters and their combinations, controls the length of names, etc.
Tested in LXDE, XFCE, LXQt (own icon), MATE, Enlightenment, Plasma (own icon), Cinnamon.
Important:
The icon theme adwaita-icon-theme-3.38.0 has a critical bug that the developers are in no hurry to fix:
