Create a shortcut

Create a shortcut that surfaces an existing item in another folder or workspace without duplicating it. ### Usage notes - A shortcut requires a **parentId** (the folder or workspace to place it in) and a **target** (the item the shortcut points to). - Retrieve the ID of a folder to use as a **parentId** by calling the [/v2/files](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-files) endpoint and reviewing the `id` field in the response for files with a `type` of `folder`. - Retrieve the ID of a workspace to use as a **parentId** by calling the [/v2/workspaces](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-workspaces) endpoint. - The target can be a document (workbook, data model, report, dataset, or folder) or a database object (table, view, schema, database, or stored procedure). - You must have at least **Can view** access to the target document or folder, or **Can use** access to the target database object. ### Usage scenarios - **Deployment and embedding**: Surface shared workbooks or data models in tenant workspaces or folders without exposing a central workspace to end users.
