Convert URL to WEBLOC

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert URL to WEBLOC?
Yes - URL converts to WEBLOC.

To make a Mac-friendly shortcut, copy the address from the .url's URL= line and drag it from Safari's address bar to the desktop to create a .webloc (XML plist). There's no direct file converter - both just store a link in different text formats.
