Where you would normally map a drive, create the shortcut in a "Network Drives" folder.  That folder is on my desktop, and I also pinned that folder in file explorer for fast access.  As another benefit, the share drives sometimes play with locks on files with the folder open, probably due to SMB issues again, but with these explorer shortcuts, I don't see that problem anymore.
