Creating a Shortcut of a file from one Team Channel to another
DHarrison You can solve it by doing the following (but it is not a pretty solution that i recommend...)
- Copy the link to your document (in Teams).
- Then go to the channel where you want a link to the document.
- Click on the "Files tab" and then select "Open in SharePoint".
- When the document library opens, click "New" and select "Link".
- Paste the url you copied into the document, and then save.
Now you can go back to the channel and see in "Files" that the link is available there.
(Once again, this is an ugly solution but if it works for you then it works.)

MagnusGoksoyrOLDProfile This looked like just the answer I have been looking for but despite following each of the steps successfully when I clicked on the link I got an error message with a type of sorting hat saying:
Thies item might not exist or is no longer available.
This item may have been deleted, expired or you might not have permission to view i. Contact the owner of this item for more information. The a 'Go to the list' button.
I do have access and obviously opened the document in SharePoint to be able to copy the url - any other ideas. This is a real limitation, as I don't want lots of duplicates of one file save in different locations which makes it a problem to manage when updates are made of the version changes.
Janine_D Just in case anybody gets stuck with this issue as well, on the summary page the New>Link button doesn't exist as Sharepoint has no constancy in it's menus. You need to go to the Document area and go to the folder that you want to add the link to and THEN go to New>Link and it will be there. Messy solution compared to all other competitors but still works 1.7 years later
