How to get the target path when the selected file system object is a shortcut?

[stamminator]

I have some network folders I've created shortcuts to using the standard "This PC > Add a network location" context menu action. I haven't been able to find a way to get the path of the shortcut's target in NSS. All of the options I explored using the sel functions return the path of the shortcut file itself, located at %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts. These shortcuts are different from standard .lnk files targeting a folder, as evidenced by the shortcut's different Properties UI (see screenshot below).

As you can see here, none of the sel functions or win32 properties via sel.meta I tried refer to the underlying network path (e.g. \\my-network-path\c$). Any ideas on how that could be retrieved?
