What I really want is a way to make an alias to an app to launch in a particular mode and then just double click that to launch the app without having to worry about the path to the app in an Applescript, but that doesn't seem possible.

Unfortunately, this link only allows you to read the first paragraph.
The info you need begins on page 64, under the heading "64-bit" which continues to the next page with ...
