When I do

I get a list of Finder references instead of a list of aliases, and
since there's no error, a try block is useless.
That's because you're using "selection"; there is a bug that doesn't
let you coerce the result of "selection" into an alias list. This
works:
set foo to (choose folder default location (path to desktop))
tell application "Finder"
try
set bar to items of foo as alias list
on error
set bar to items of foo as alias
end try
end tell
But you're not using selection!
How would you get a list of aliases from a selection?
