Aliases are interesting, but would multiply my files too much. I
found they track moved files with a unique file ID, perhaps
NSFileSystemFileNumber in the file attributes, but I don't see a way
in NSFileManager to backtrack to a file path from that number.
Carbon's NSRef suggested in the other posted response here looks
interesting. www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?FSRef notes that "NathanDay's
NDAlias provides a Cocoa way to interface with FSRef" so I will
investigate that approach.

Aliases are probably your best bet. They can easily track a file
that's been moved.
Failing that, if you can require Leopard, FSEvents may work.

Is there any chance the finder sends out some kind of notification

each other, and have a way to automatically maintain those links
even when the finder moves one of the files.
Probably not, but I thought I'd ask.
