Shortcuts created using API do not work
https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/share/shortcuts
I tried to create file with `.web` and same content as shortcust json with "url" field - but those files cannot be open either on the web, desktop or mobile clients.
Why is that? Is there some trick to make it work?

The Dropbox API doesn't currently offer a way to create shortcuts like this programmatically, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
(Just uploading the same kind of JSON as the API would export won't work; Dropbox itself needs to specially set it as a shortcut. That's not something currently available to do via the API.)
Is this issue still in backlog? I also hope to be able to make webpage shortcut via API.
