Unresolved aliases to arglist of a droplet

I'm pretty sure it was impossible to pass alias files to a droplet in OS9 but has it been repaired in OS neXt?

I need to get references to alias files, not the originals, when they are dropped on an AppleScript saved as an APPL. I can't get back if the finder has already converted the reference to the original.

I'd settle for a way to tell that a conversion was done for now.

The finder selection works OK if the script is run as a compiled script and I think about ignoring the dropped arglist and just asking for the finder selection but I worry a whole lot about timing and whether or not the selection will be valid.
