That looks OK if it's passing the ICE tests now as it's much like the sample in the How to create a shortcut (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/create_start_menu_shortcut.htm). Shortcuts are still files as far as the file system is concerned so copying that sample for your own needs should be fine.
My only question would be do you need to use AppDataFolder as it's a user-specific directory? If you're doing a per-machine installation does the app your software is an add-on for allow you to use CommonAppDataFolder instead? Also AppDataFolder is the Roaming folder (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367565.aspx) are you sure you shouldn't be using LocalAppDataFolder (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369768.aspx) instead if you have to use a user-specific directory?

Still not an elegant solution, so comments welcome.
