I’d like to add a desktop shortcut to a URL that will show up on the desktop for all users of the Mac. The only methods I’ve found for creating one involves navigating to the desired website in a browser, then dragging from the address bar to the desktop. But the URL I want to use is one that, upon navigating to it, will automatically close the browser tab and launch the appropriate desktop app instead. So I have no way to get a browser tab “open” to the necessary URL in order to be able to drag it out of the browser window.
On Windows PCs, I know that I can right-click on the desktop, and choose “New Shortcut”, then type a URL and it will make an “Internet shortcut”. Is there a way to do this on a Mac?
