Right.

Sorry to disagree but, if you point to an item inside the "Application
Support" folder:
alias ((path to application support from user domain) & "AddressBook"
as string)
--> alias ":Users:philippe:Library:Application Support:AddressBook:"
Then, just move your "Application Support" folder to Desktop and run
the line above:
--> alias ":Users:philippe:Desktop:Application Support:AddressBook:"
This special folder remains a special folder, but on Desktop. (Or
anywhere else it has been moved.)
