DLP and OneDrive Shorcuts

I created a simple DLP in Purview as a test just to find a particular word and to block access to the document.  Just as a test in sim mode for now.

 

I can access the document from SharePoint and get a pop up notification which I set that tells me its contain this word.  I can also access it from OneDrive online and get the popup.  

 

But if I use the OneDrive shorcut to SharePoint which opens the document In Word desktop I do not get any popup.

 

The DLP policy is set for SharePoint and OneDrive.

 

Will this not work for shorcuts.

 

Thanks

    Hi Garry,
    It will not work if the document is on desktop but not linked to onedrive.
    Please add screenshots of configuration to check it more clearly.

      Seems to be the desktop app - If I open the word doc from sharepoint it will bring up the pop up to alert me - but if from the same sharepoint document library I select the word doc and then select the 'open in app' option, it will open the sharepoint file in the desktop app but no popup.

      Does this still sound like a config issue even though I'm opening the same file?
      Thanks
