Hello all,

is there any way to create a "real" shortcut from an Contact (eg. like
Windows shortcuts)?
I have many thousand contacts in one "master" contact folder which has
contact subfolders.
Can i create shortcuts from these master folder to one or more subfolders?

So i only must change the contact in the master folder and all subfolders,
which contains this contact are updated automatically (because there are
only the shortcuts).

I hope, somebody can help me.

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

No.  Each folder contains items that are unrelated to the items in another
folder.  No shortcuts between folders.

So you want the master folder filled with shortcuts to contacts in
subfolders? No can do.

Why use subfolders if you need shortcuts to the contacts in the subfolders?
Use Categories and Views to keep the contacts 'separate' and keep all in one
folder.
