Can environment variables be obtained in shortcuts?

Can environment variables be obtained in shortcuts?

example:

{
    "shortcuts": [
        [
            "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\\FaForever\\FaForever.exe",
            "FaForever"
        ]
    ]
}

[HUMORCE]

This is not possible by default, workaround:

"post_install": [
  "startmenu_shortcut \"$Env:LOCALAPPDATA\\App\\hello.exe\" 'Hello' $null $null $global"
],
"post_uninstall": [
  "$shortcut = $ExecutionContext.SessionState.Path.GetUnresolvedProviderPathFromPSPath(\"$(shortcut_folder $global)\\Hello.lnk\")",
  "Write-Host \"Removing shortcut $(friendly_path $shortcut)\"",
  "if (Test-Path -Path $shortcut) {",
  "    Remove-Item $shortcut",
  "}"
]
