Lakehouse Shortcuts available in Warehouse also

[fbcideas_migusr]

The Lakehouse shortcuts are great for sure. But why can't I create some from a Warehouse? This should be available as well. Many scenarios will focus only on warehouse not lakehouse.

Or make Lakehouse shortcuts available from the Warehouse? Yes I know we can query them from the Warehouse like this: Lakehouse.schema.shortcut. That works (althought the intellisense works only 50% of the time...)

But it's not the same, you don't get visibiliy on them from the warehouse, I mean from the object explorer. I can add other warehouse with button "Add Warehouse" but this doesn't persist, you need to add it each time you have a new session. (this is another idea, coming soon)

Please add shortcuts available on Warehouse as well. This would be great.

Planning to share common tables from Warehouse with other workspaces. The warehouses are created with case-insensitive (CI) collation, then we create shortcuts on lakehouse the tables in lakehouse changed to case-sensitive again.

So it is better to allow create shortcuts on Warehouse, so the other workspaces can be created with case-insensitive (CI) collation and accesss the data without any case sensitive issues.

otherwise having one copy is not possible with current options.

Thanks for posting your idea. Can you further expand on the scenarios where you would use shortcuts in Data Warehouse? Data ingestion? Querying external data? Any other scenarios you could share?

We have Shortcuts in Fabric Datawarehouse planned for Q4 2026.
