All you need to do is add a "Create Shortcut" action to the "After Installing" section. For the "Target file" field just fill in the folder you want for your shortcut.

If I have understood your question correctly, if you wish to have shortcuts to sub-folders of your document folder then yes you need to have separate "Create Shortcut" actions.

Also as an additional note, you will need to add "Remove Shortcut" actions to the Uninstall section as the shortcuts you create will not get automatically removed.

Hope that answered your question.
