I found this, it might help (change the $path_to_sc variable to point to your shortcut)

$WshShell = new-object -comobject "WScript.Shell"
$path_to_sc = <path to your shortcut>
$sc_Obj = get-item -path $path_to_sc
$sc_values = $WshShell.CreateShortcut($sc_Obj)
$comment = $sc_values.description
write-host $comment
