That gets you an alias to the root level of the package (no different, in my experience, than just omitting the contents of).

How do you get the Finder to reveal the contents, though? That's the "hard, isn't it" part :)

I have always had to resort to appending a Contents folder or something, as earlier posters described. Asking Finder to reveal a folder that is a package causes it to simply select it as a file.

The Finder window has a little do-hickey that brings up the same menu

that's a possibility.

It's hard isn't it!

No ;-)
