Org supports hyperlinks to a lot of different things, including web
URLs. Take a look at chapter 4, "Hyperlinks", in the manual:

http://orgmode.org/manual/Hyperlinks.html#Hyperlinks


I do not know what exactly you mean by "Windows shortcuts". You can link
to any file on your hard disk; if you have not told it otherwise, Org
will tell Windows to open the file with its associated application.

You might also be able to link to an actual windows shortcut (.lnk or
.pif files), although I don't think you'd want to that :)
