Path shown in Thunar after using a link shows how I got there rather than the Location of the File

Description
This question pertains to Xubuntu 16.04.3 LTS with current kernel 4.4.0-116-generic x86_64. Thunar has Version 1.6.11 (the one packaged to Xubuntu 16.04).
I have made a link to the frequently used public account of another user.
I put this link on my desktop (in a German Xubuntu: Senden an Desktop).
When I use this link, a new Thunar window opens and shows the way from my desktop to that place: The path shown tells about the way how I got there. I would prefer if it would show the description from the root in the file system to my file (the UNC path), rather than the way how I got there using my desktop link.
If use Ctl-C after this on a file, it depends on the way how I use the clipboard then. If I paste it to a mousepad-window or Shift-paste it to a LibreOffice document, the path to the file gets pasted, but with that strange deviation via my desktop link, i.e. the pasted path contains the way how I got there rather than the shortest way to it!
How can I let Thunar fetch me the UNC path to my pointed-to file?
