[Wine] Executing shortcut (.lnk) files?

[Stealth Dave]

Is it possible to execute a program using the shortcut files (aka .lnk) 
that are generated for the Start Menu et. al?  I realize that many 
linux distros populate the Gnome and/or KDE menu automatically, but it 
would be nice to be able to launch a shortcut from the command-line.  
Is that currently possible, or does some parser need to be created?

Thanks,
- Dave
