Not the most PowerShell answer but this is the widely used one with the best compatibility in versions. Much like this answer but small changes for URLs

$WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("$Home\Favorites\Google.url")
$Shortcut.TargetPath = "http://www.google.ca"
$Shortcut.Save()

This will make a shortcut to Google in your favorites. $Home being one of PowerShell's Automatic Variables

If you happen to have PowerShell 5.0 it can now do this natively. Again refer to this answer for more information
