I want to add a shortcut to a file in another directory (where it isn't located). How do I do that? I see no option to do so after right clicking the respective file.

You can do this using terminal command:
ln -s filepath linkpath
You can also hold Shift + Ctrl
and drag a file where you want to make a shortcut.
If you want executables then you need *.desktop
file. Here is a link how to use it. Do not forget to add permissions for executing. If you want this shortcut to be shown in applications menu put desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications
.
