I use Textures, not TeXShop, so I don't have TeXShop installed and I can't see its dictionary. First you need to look at the line I've marked with "--<<<". What kind of data does "path of this_document" return? (I'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that 'path to ...' is from the TeXShop dictionary.)
Also, its not clear if you want an alias to the file or if you really want to create an alias file to the document. If you want an alias file, you have to ...
tell application "Finder" make new alias file to <fileAlias> at ...
