Another option is inside of Teams:

1. go to the Files tab of the Team for the file you wish to create a shortcut to.
2. click the Show actions dots [...] for the file
3. click Open >
4. click Open in browser
5. If your file opens in Edge
   1. click the Edge browser options dots [...]
   2. click Apps
   3. click Install this site as an app
   4. either use the default name, or edit to create your preferred file name
   5. click [Install]
   6. wait for the file to open
   7. select your choices for "Allow this app to"
   8. click [Allow]
6. If your file opens in Chrome
   1. click the Chrome browser options dots 

       

   2. click More tools >
   3. click Create shortcut...
   4. either use the default name, or edit to create your preferred file name
   5. Chrome has an option to "Open as window"
      1. Select/check the box will cause the file to open in an "Excel" window
      2. Leaving the box unchecked will cause the file to open in a Chrome browser window

You should now have a shortcut directly to the file.
