Triggering it will open the truelibrary folder.

Isn"t it a neat scheme ?

What do you achieve by hiding the library and then revealing it with an alias? 

What’s the point of hiding the User library but not hiding the System library, which is FAR more dangerous for users to muck around in?
 
Since saving items in the ~/Library/Scripts folder is a pain through applications' ‘Save As’ menus if the User library is hidden, the best solution IMO, is simply to make the user library permanently visible (it should never have been hidden in the first place, it is the *users* library, after all!!). 

In Terminal just paste this line and hit ‘return’:

chflags nohidden ~/Library

Problem solved. Permanently.

(you can undo that command if you should wish with ‘chflags hidden ~/Library’ )



Best
