Wine file has all sorts of problems with it that simply opening a nautilus window at ~/.wine/drive_c doesn't have though. For example, you can drag and drop files to your desktop, or another nautilus window.

What benefit does browsing this with wine file actually give? "Instructions for explorer" are limited to just opening, copying, and renaming files, all of which nautilus can do already. The only leap for the user is that they need to understand where their C:\ drive is, and if we name the shortcut "Browse virtual C:\ drive" and put it in the Wine folder it'll be pretty obvious.

You have a good point about the need for an analog to Windows "create shortcut" command for apps to be run with Wine, though. It should be doable on the right click menu. We may not even need to do anything too creative to handle it.
