The Finder cannot do this ...

set orgItem to (original item of aliasFileAlias) -- ERRORS HERE

and System Events doesn't know about 'alias file' or 'original item', so is no help.
I looked at the 'GetFileInfo' man page, but that's no help either.

Anyone know how to get the original item of an invisible alias file?

Without making it visible! Which, I suppose, will be the work-around.
