App to create .url files?

Anyone know of an app that can create standard Windows Internet Shortcut (.url) files?
My thinking was that this would be a relatively easy way to get urls from my phone to one or more of my computers, simply by createing the .url file in a specific folder on my phone and letting DropSync upload it to my Dropbox, where it would be dispursed to my other devices.
The only thing I've been able to find so far is Url Bookmarks (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aseg07.android.UrLBookmarks), which is close, but requires a lot of clicks to operate since you need to specify your target folder each time. Ideally, I'd love to find something where I can permanently specify a location to use and then just paste the url and click a button to generate the shortcut.

Does such an app even exist, or is this just too niche of a need?
