Shortcuts can collaborate with other objects in a variety of ways.

From the Dependencies page of the shortcut property sheet, you can visualize with which objects the shortcut collaborates within the model.

This can be very useful to avoid deleting a shortcut whose deletion could seriously modify the design of your model.
