This issue stopped me from migrating to Ubuntu for ~18 months (and I still haven't for other reasons). I have hundreds, maybe thousands of URLs scattered in project folders. There's no way I could migrate from Windows without this functionality. I'm sure there are many others the same.

It seems such a simple, trivial enhancement which will benefit anyone hoping to migrate from Windows. It should have received attention long ago.

Then again, Ubuntu / Nautilus can't even open its own URL shortcuts reliably - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/252902 , http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518481
