I think there is something in Aliases.h to get around this.

ResolveAliasFileWithMountFlagsNoUI, but I haven't tried it...

Clicking by mistake on an alias to an offline volume (either in the Finder or in an Open panel means staring at the busy cursor for minutes while the system tries to find the volume. This is exasperating.

Ideally there should be an option in all calls to either follow links/aliases or not, but that will never happen :-(

That's what I always use to resolve aliases, it works OK.
If only the Finder and Open panel used it, too...
