The basic target types for shortcuts I am aware of are:
"Application", which can include extra information such as command
line arguments, default working directory, console window
properties if it is a console application, and can accept further
command line arguments through drag and drop.
"Data file", which acts as you describe above, but is not limited
to text files.
"File folder", which doesn't really need to be different than data
file, since the default action for folders is invoked the same way
as for data files. But apparently an extra bit is set for these, so
they must be handled slightly differently.
"Network drive"
"URL"
Probably more for printers, control panels and other special cases.
I think the most useful ones to support in Emacs would be the "data
file" and "file folder" types, which are vaguely similar to
soft-links, and maybe "URL" for w3, ange-ftp etc.
