ahtCommonFileOpenSave Shortcut extensions lnk url

If using the FileOpenSave common dialog box (ahtCommonFileOpenSave) the
text string it extracts is the full path of the file which is great.
The problem is if a .url or .lnk (internet shortcut or regular
shortcut) file is selected then the path is not extracted. Does anyone
know a work around for this. What I would like to do is prompt the
user for a file and if it is a shortcut store the actual shortcut file
(filename.lnk). If anyone has answer to this I certainly would
appreciate it. Thanks.
