Someone pointed out, that if you drag an alias on a dropplet, the

we have a lot of applescripters here on the list, so perhaps one will
enlighten us/me :-)
It used to be possible to inform the Finder that an application wanted
the raw alias files, not the items they point to, by jiggering the
application's BNDL and FREF resources correctly. (Claim to open files
of type 'alis'.) Unfortunately, this trick doesn't work in Mac OS X,
but there's a bug filed on that.
