Create desktop shortcut

[teknoh20G]

Hello,
I'm trying to make it so I can select a URL from a list, and then push a desktop URL shortcut to the desktop with the ability to change the name. Just like if I were to right click on the desktop, and select new then shortcut, can't figure this out if anyone could please give me some insight it would be greatly appreciated.
