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...
