No - shortcut doesn't have corresponding problem! The field, which 
relate with the shortcut functionality works *only* with the doktype 
shortcut.

Yes if we compare this with 'shortcut', when shortcut icon relates with 
doktype and the functionality work only with certain doktype. If the 
field, which relates with getting content from another page is *not* 
visible, then the functionality should disable too.
Then normal pages, not in menu pages should not use content from another 
page even if the field is not empty. Imo Typo3 works buggy, when it 
doesn't disable the functionality from normal pages.
The functionality should work with mount pages, possible new doktype and 
for such special doktypes, which really need it and which are defined by 
  a plugin, like tcdirectmail.
