An easy way to make shortcuts?

Can someone suggest an easy way to create a shortcut to a
document while I am working on that document? Maybe I
just created a document on my word processesor (MS Word)
and I know I will be working on it again in a week. I
want to put a shortcut to that document on my desktop.
The best way I know to create a shortcut is to navigate
thru explorer or do a search, locate the file, and rclick-
drag a shortcut. There must be an easier way that I can
use while I am working on the file. Can anyone help with
this?

Usually, if you right click a folder in Windows Explorer, the drop down menu
will have a send to - Create a shortcut (to Desktop).
