maybe it's easier to just have the link point to scoop/apps/opera/current/<version>/opera.exe?

[DavideCanton]

uhm, it seems that the shortcuts property in the manifest does not support $version, maybe it can be added?

[useribs]

Or post-install script can create junction pointing to $version/opera or something
