The question is, how do I store an alias "soxi" in the bundle? It seems to me that, if I make an alias when I compile the script, it will depend on "path to me", and therefore not be valid for any other machine.

Let your application script create the alias file. This will only happen once, the first time you run the application.
But you will need some way to check if the application has been moved to a new user.
You may need to create the alias file in the temporary items folder every time you need it.
