Windows does attempt to resolve such changes.

However, the attempt to update the shortcut after the target is renamed or moved is only made when the shortcut is used.

If you make a change to the target, then only view the properties of the shortcut, it still points to the original target.

It depends on whether you know the phase of the moon.
