Expected or Desired Behavior

If you are reporting a bug, please describe the expected behavior. If you are suggesting an enhancement please
describe thoroughly the enhancement, how it can be achieved, and expected benefit.

Create a "Link to Document" document using PNP Powershell.

Observed Behavior

If you are reporting a bug, please describe the behavior you expected to occur when performing the action. If you are making a suggestion, you can delete this section.

Have tried to do this multiple ways - all fail:

  1. Using Add-PNPFile with a template file (downloaded a working file from SPO) with the -ContentType switch fails with an error about the Folder not being found
  2. Using Add-PNPFile with a template file (downloaded a working file from SPO) without the -ContentType switch but with the desired contenttype as the library default creates what appears to be a Link to Document (file and icon are correct) but SPO attempts to download the file instead of doing the redirect.
  3. Using Add-PNPFile with a template file (downloaded a working file from SPO) without the -ContentType switch then subsequently updating the contenttype and/or metadata using Set-PNPListItem results in the same behavior as #2.
  4. Using Copy-PNPFile to attempt to copy a working Link to Document from another document library in the same web results in "Cannot contact site at the specified URL" and lists the full URL of the source file. The URL displayed is correct. Tried both Site and Server relative URLs for source and got the same results.

Steps to Reproduce
