I’m normally a Linux guy, but I need to write a batch script on Windows to change the target of some shortcuts. Is there a command to do that?

I doubt there is a way to do it with a batch script. It’s doable in VBScript, though.
Save the script in a file ending in vbs and run it from the command line using
cscript whatever.vbs.(Don’t be fooled by the name —
CreateShortcutis used to both create and modify shortcuts.)
