Add ability to use custom icons for shortcuts.

[tech4him1]

This is necessary if the shortcut points to a script instead of a executable. It should be fairly simple, just adding an IconLocation to the $wsShell object before you save it.

Example:

function startmenu_shortcut($target, $shortcutName, $icon) {
    ...
    $wsShell.TargetPath = "$target"
    $wsShell.IconLocation = "$icon"
    $wsShell.Save()
}

I found a workaround. You can simply create a link in your project, then, add a shortcut to the shortcut.

...
    "shortcuts": [
        [
            "program.lnk",
            "Program"
        ]
    ]
...

Nice one!

It is rather cumbersome, but it works...

    "shortcuts": [
        [
            "idea.lnk",
            "IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate"
        ]
    ],
    "pre_install": "
        $wsShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
        $wsShell = $wsShell.CreateShortcut(\"$dir\\idea.lnk\")
        $wsShell.TargetPath = \"$dir\\bin\\idea.bat\"
        $wsShell.IconLocation  = \"$dir\\bin\\idea.exe\"
        $wsShell.Save()
    ",

Hint: You need to use pre_install here because scoop tries to create the start menu shortcut before the post_install step runs, which would fail.
