Aliases don't seam to have a creator type or file type and also they aren't sure what class they are. Here the finder says it's a class 'alias' but the alias says 'disk'.

set f to alias "titan:"

{class of f, class of (get (properties of f))}
end tell
-->{alias, disk}


You would get different answers if you selected the alias file.
alias "titan:" is not the same as an alias file pointing to titan.

tell application "Finder"
set f to item 1 of (get selection) -- an alias to your disk
f's {class, kind}
end tell
{alias file, "Alias"}


What I want is to be able to tell LaunchBar[1] to open aliases. It acts by file type or extension.

I can't see a way to do that.
