Hi JohnsonbI4,

This is a limitation of WebShortcut tag - you cannot test if there are any shortcuts at generation time.

You can do the same using JavaScript. It worked for me.

Code:
<!--[if($show_albumlinks)]-->
   <span id=linklist style="display: none">

      <table width="100%" bgcolor=$shadecolor cellpadding=0 style="margin-bottom: 5pt"><tr>
      <td align=left><b>WEB LINKS</b></td>
      <td align=right><a href="javascript:window.external.editartist(0,1);"><u>edit</u></a></td></tr></table>

      <!--[webshortcut]-->
         <b><!--[webshortcutlink]--><!--[webshortcuttitle/]--><!--[/webshortcutlink]--></b>
         <!--[if(webshortcutdesc)]-->- <!--[webshortcutdesc/]--><!--[/if]--><br>

      <script language=javascript><!--
         document.all.linklist.style.display = "";
      //--></script>

      <!--[/webshortcut]-->
   </span>
   <p>
<!--[/if]-->
