I need to find in the registry the location of a file which can update a URL. Right-clicking on the shortcut, select Properties > Target. There is a URL, https://test.domain.com.

I need to update that URL on 50 hosts. However, I am not able to locate in the registry where the file is stored.

If I go into "file location", all those files (config/xml), don't display that URL either. I thought one of them will have the old URL, I can copy/paste a new URL, relaunch the app, which will take me to the new URL.

Modify the shortcut on your computer to change the URL. Then use Group Policy Preferences to replace the existing shortcut with your updated shortcut on all computers.

Right-clicking on the shortcut, select Properties > Target This reads like you are trying to update a Shell Link (.LNK) File, which is a self-contained binary. The content of LNK files (even URL files) is not stored in the registry - just use GPOs to update LNKs.
