Adding shortcuts from an include script

The installer I'm working on installs a number of categories of files. I have these files broken up into include scripts to make things easier to manage. Now that I'm adding shortcuts, I've noticed that the visual mode does not seem to be able to find the executables in the include files. I then added the shortcut link manually to one of the include files, but this additional entry is not shown in the visual editor either. Is this a bug, or am I doing something that I shouldn't do?

Only your main script will be parsed and represented in the visual UI.

As long as I'm not causing any future problems with my scripts. I actually find the MSI code side fairly easy to work with once I create a sample with the graphical side of things.

For a future enhancement, would it be possible to have all of the scripts both parsed for the visual UI, and searched with the find command? I find it easier to use sub-scripts than code folding regions for some things, especially when we may be reusing the scripts.
