You wouldn't, why did you ask?
To add the .lnk file to (or update it in) and already existing archive that already contains multiple other files? Or to add it to a new archive for whatever the reason you might have, like, e.g., to store the filepath and/or user permissions of the file with possible attributes, to add a description/comment to the archive, etc.?

I also don't have WinRAR linked with other than compressed .rar files.
There is a setting called 'Legacy Menus'...,
For me, it doesn't expand any subfolders in the nav pane until I click on the little expand button that appears in front of the folder/subfolder in question. Also, when I close/reopen File Explorer, it correctly remembers which ones are expanded/collapsed. Maybe it's because I use ExplorerPatcher with this setting:
