Interesting. Can something like this be used to obtain the path to an "alias file" dropped onto an AppleScript APPL? I need the path to the alias not the file pointed to. Something like the "Use alias instead of original" selector in ResEdit's open_file dialog.
No, the alias is resolved before being passed to your app.
However, some people have had luck checking the selection in the Finder and seeing if an alias file is selected, which is will be if you selected it and then dragged it to your app.
