1. Open the document or spreadsheet in your Google docs account and copy the full URL of the document.
2. Create a new desktop shortcut and type the URL of he document in the shortcuts location.
3. All done, now you have a new shortcut in your desktop – double clicking which will launch the Google document in a new browser tab or window. Now associate specific icon files with these shortcuts so that you can identify them at a glance.

Hope this helps.
