When I execute it from Script Editor the "This file is an alias"

Script Editor. Has anyone got a clue as to why I'm getting this
behavior?
When you drag and drop, any aliases are resolved before the
information is
passed to the droplet (or any other app). It has ever been thus.
Once upon a time I knew that. I haven't been doing much scripting
lately and it must have gotten moved offline. The question, now, is
"Is there any scriptable way to detect if a dropped file is an alias?"
