File v. Folder

OK, here's a general question to the list.

I know that I can refer to an object via its path as alias ("DMG:Documents:"
for a folder, "DMG:Document:some doc.pdf" as a file).

What other ways are there to refer to an object and determine whether it is
a file or a folder other than its path? Is there a <<sys event>> I can use?
What about some properties of info for?

Sorry if this is an obvious question.

TIA,
Phil
