I actually prefer to use symbolic links whenever possible. I find them generally more reliable, and they're 4k.
Symbolic links are useful, but they have limitations that alias files don't -- they're totally dependent on path names not changing. For a lot of things people use aliases for, I reckon hard links are a better bet, but they too have their limitations (eg, with bundle docs). Horses for courses.
I just wish that Apple gave them a proper place in the UI.
FYI:
set theFile to choose file set symPath to choose folder with prompt "choose symlink folder" set hardPath to choose folder with prompt "choose hard link folder" tell application id "au.com.myriad-com.ASObjC-Runner" -- ASObjC Runner.app manage file theFile creating symlink in symPath manage file theFile creating link in hardPath end tell
