If you are only dropping one item at a time onto your droplet application
(that's the on open handler), then this will work (because of some
assistance from AS on your one-alias list.)
If you drop multiple items, I don't think you'll find the script
satisfactory. (You also couldn't have multiple items with the same name
being created in the 'Import' folder, so...)
Anyway, in order to name the newly created alias something else, make this
change:
set NA to make new alias at folder "Import" of the desktop to somefile
...
set name of NA to "whateveryouwant"
It's not the tightest script you could make, but there you go.
