Is there a similar way to ask if myAlias is a container?

Unfortunately, no. That would require the ability to express the idea of "is a kind of", which AppleScript hasn't got. (It should, mind you, but it doesn't.) The best you can do is check for all the concrete container types you know about and hope no new ones show up.

I guess that the pathname returned for any container will end in ":" and that therefore my previous solution will work for all containers.
