Creating shortcuts/links to other Document Libraries from within a Document Library

[Community]

 

We are wanting to create shortcuts/links within a document library to another document library on a different project site, or even another SharePoint farm.

Any tips for doing this?

Even within ‘explorer view’ the shortcut cannot be created. Could this potentially be a default configuration on the server preventing this?

I know there are several security settings in Project Server that deal with Windows SharePoint sites for projects in PWA.  They are called Manage SharePoint Foundation, Contribute to Project Web App and Manage Lists in Project Web App.  You could give it a try and see if it pertains to what you are trying to do.  The documentation that I have here is pretty sparse on the subject, but the security settings for project sites are synchronized with Project Server, so it is likely the control is actually within the security model. for PS.
