THIS IS A  BUG. Alias files passed to an 'open' handler should never be  resolved. Sometimes I may filter out alias files, sometimes not and  sometimes they should be resolved. The choice should be mine. I would  have liked to include a Drag & Drop interface, but in this case, it  is just too dangerous.
