When you try to copy file shortcuts in Copywhiz, instead of the shortcut, the specific destination file appears in the queue. Even if you try filtering the files to only copy files of a particular type or extension(of the shortcut), this does not change. This is a small limitation when you choose Shortcut files directly from the Copywhiz menu.
We have a quick workaround for this, which is explained in the post.

Copying file shortcuts
For shortcuts, you can open Copywhiz main window and add shortcut files using the “Add Files” button, or you can drag and drop the files inside Copywhiz main window.
To access the main window, you would just “Run Copywhiz” from the context menu or choose the “Show items” option from the context menu.
This is a temporary workaround you can use until we fix this in our future updates.
