That's not what he said. He said the 'to' parameter shouldn't be a string.
So, when you say:
... to "some:place:" with properties...
You should try saying:
... to alias "some:place:" with properties...
That use of the word 'alias' is not the same as your use in trying make a
'file alias' (like a desktop "shortcut" alias).

There is nothing at all wrong with the user's placing scripts in that
location. That's where they are supposed to go.
Your note suggests the same place that the user is already using, so I don't
get it.
(Or you think that all scripts should be placed at the first level of
~/Library/Scripts and leave it at that? Blech. No good.)
Scripts inside the 'Scripts' folder (either one of them) can be placed
inside named folders, per application or other criteria that the user
decides (by application is most logical). This is how I do it, and how I
think most folks do it.
