Comment (by torleak):

 Do you mean shortcut for URL of the target site or shortcut for TOR
 Browser (\Tor Browser\Browser\firefox.exe)? The latter was always used,
 the former does not exist.

 But it is possible that IP of the target site was copied into TOR Browser
 from a text file (notepad), or even copied from the local folder name,
 instead of typing directly into TOR Browser.
