Found a chimera

Hello

I asked my wife if I was hallucinating and I wasn't.

Playing with an asker's script, I ran this short subset :

set original to "SSD 500:Users:<theAccount>:Desktop:ligne droite.jpeg" as alias
set destination to "Macintosh HD:Users:<theAccount>:Documents:tempo:" as alias

tell application "System Events"
move original to destination
end tell
original

The file was correctly moved but what a surprise when I saw what was written in the event log :

--> alias "/Users/<theAccount>/Desktop/ligne droite.jpeg"

As you know, I am curious. So I brought the file back in its original location and ran :

tell application "System Events"
exists alias "/Users/<theAccount>/Desktop/ligne droite.jpeg"
end tell

Second surprise, it returned true.

Is this surprising object described somewhere ?
