Request to not place shortcut icons when installing via third party patching

We have users who perfer to keep a clean desktop either for demo's for clients or for personal reasons. when we turned on third party patching it has kept placing shortcuts on the desktop for some applications when updating them. deleting the shortcuts does not prevent them from re-appearing when the application gets updated again. 

Would it possible to request an option for third party patching to not deploy shortcuts to the desktop?
