The only macOS app that understands tilde-based paths is System Events (outside of the Terminal).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "System Events" set dropBoxPosixPath to POSIX path of disk item "~/Dropbox" end tell
set dropBoxAlias to alias POSIX file dropBoxPosixPath
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then of course there's the normal method for creating a “relative alias”:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set dropBoxRelativeAlias to alias ((path to home folder as text) & "Dropbox:")
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
