Shortcut vs. mirroring
Hello fabric_user
Thanks for using the Fabric community.Your impression is correct . Shortcuts are objects in OneLake that point to other storage locations.

Adding relavent content from the link .What are shortcuts?
Shortcuts are objects in OneLake that point to other storage locations. The location can be internal or external to OneLake. The location that a shortcut points to is known as the target path of the shortcut. The location where the shortcut appears is known as the shortcut path. Shortcuts appear as folders in OneLake and any experience or service that has access to OneLake can use them. Shortcuts behave like symbolic links. They're an independent object from the target. If you delete a shortcut, the target remains unaffected. If you move, rename, or delete a target path, the shortcut can break
