alias file types

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

What I want is to be able to tell LaunchBar[1] to open aliases. It acts by file type or extension.
Does anyone know something I don't about aliases?

1. The most excellent of all OS X shareware! Using it has completely changed the way I organize files and interact with my mac. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend that you do. Standard No affiliation stuff applies.
