By then I had ceased using .LNK files in calibre, else I might have complained heartily that I could no longer drop them into Book Details, which IIRC worked at one time.

My usage of .LNK files:

If I need to edit the content of a format file substantively I prefer to do it outside of the calibre library, so I would add a .LNK file referencing the relevant folder in my UnderEdit area into the calibre book record. But then I had a need to edit both the comic and script format files for the same book. So, I ditched the .LNK files in favour of file:/// URLs in a long text column.

It would now seem the only way to get a .LNK file into a book folder is via a file manager->copy of the .LNK file into clipboard (Ctrl+C) and a Calibre->Add Books->Add files to selected book records from clipboard. Which is likely to be somewhat alien for anyone under a certain age
