Deploying RDP shortcut via GPO?

Hi, I'm trying to deploy a RDP shortcut to our term server via GPO so whoever logs into the computer will have it on their desktop.

I went into Group Policy and made a new policy - Computer config - Pref - Windows Settings- Shortcuts

But I'm confused on whether or not an RDP shortcut is a shell object or file object? My understanding is that I can create a RDP shortcut, put it on a share, then put the share location into this GPO and it will place that shortcut on everyone's desktop.

​

Is this correct?

Thanks!
