I don't get it. Why do you hate aliases so much? They offer some nice
features and flexibility that symlinks do not. The only real drawback is
that some API's haven't been updated to support them yet...

Of course it is. Whole Cocoa, being unix-born and not MacOS-born, uses
the *standard* API, whilst aliases are very proprietary stuff of HFS+.
Use symbolic links instead (they work much more reasonably anyway).
Since Apple (triple alas!) pushes aliases to be used instead of
symlinks, it is extremely probable that all Cocoa classes will be made
alias-aware sooner or later. It will take some time though.
