In my tests, symlinks (mklink command) needs admin auth to create. That would scare people I think.

I'm not interested in messing with somebody's environment variables. That would scare people too I think.

Yes there's a reason not to rename: The manuals have internal links to each other which reference the original IBM filename.

  Can windows shortcuts use relative paths?

Maybe, but it doesn't work for me on Win 10:

Symlinks (hard or soft) is an alternative to using shortcuts.

Environment variables are allowed in shortcuts.

Is there a reason you don't rename the files? You can include the original name 
before the file type (e.g. IBM_manual_1.iea111.pdf).
