I want to be able to directly start my TB's address book and used these instructions to add an app to the menu:
https://portableapps.com/support/portable_apps_suite#addingotherapps
And these instructions to start the TB address book:

In brief: create a shortcut to TB exe and add a parameter "-addressbook". This works perfectly, even when I link to ThunderbirdPortable.exe .
However, the Platform menu does not pick up the shortcut.
Any other ideas?

The Platform only shows .exe files, so a shortcut will never be displayed.
You could try a .bat file and then convert it to a .exe file with any of the free bat to exe converters available.
You can find the shortcut to add to the platform on the Thunderbird Portable Support page here: https://portableapps.com/support/thunderbird_portable#addressbook
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks so much to reply in such a nice way to an unnecessary question!
Usually I search for what I need prior to posting in a forum. I thought my needs were so special, that a search would not return anything useful. Only to see it's all taken care of already. And would have been perfectly searchable.
Lesson learned and now I alo have a PA login, finally.
