You can achieve that with a wrapper script called 'wine' that you put in the PATH somewhere before the 'real' wine command (don't forget to locate the 'real' wine command in the script to avoid recursion).
That's true, although I don't know of any such external project (and the Wine project might take offence to a 3rd part distributing a script also called "wine" out of necessity...).
In any case, I have never relied on Wine shortcuts since bug 22974 has always caused that to make a mess of everything. I regularly upgrade to the latest Wine, and I always run winecfg first to manually clear out all the folder shortcuts it creates since they are always reverted on upgrades (or downgrades even).
