Drag Drop Shortcuts

I'm recieving drap drop events in my application. Files work just fine using the following:
if(e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) )
{string[] files = (string[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop);
}

But if I drag a shortcut, such as "My Documents", I can't get it to work. Any Ideas?

Can you actually drag My Documents over it? What happens exactly? Does the (/) cross icon show up?

If you're actually receiving the string to the shortcut, you could determine if it is a shortcut and find its target.
 
I can get the drop to fire, but can't seem to get any data out of it.
