[TYPO3-core] RFC #6853: item state CUR for pages of type "shortcut" missing in menus

Hi,

ok - now I got you. But fixing the link won't fix the item state as 
they're independently handled in the menu. Using the correct link-ID is 
the task of typolink, whereas the item state is task of the menu. If I 
have some time the next days I'll have a look if I can provide a overall 
solution.
