In the case that a launch configuration does not exist, the platform
requires a shortcut in order to create/populate a configuration with the
correct attributes/values for a given resource.

Correct - there is currently no way to hide a shortcut from the user
(except for disabling it, which would also hide it from the platform).
I agree with your observation, however. If a resource mapping exists for a
configuration, the platform should be able to launch without a shortcut.
Please enter a bug for this.
