There's a way -- and so far as I can say, only way -- to do that:
integrate aliases on the filesystem level, so that all the low-level

are link-aware now.
I second that.
If this was solved, I guess *PERHAPS* they might bring some advantages,
though I am not sure. Alas it seems Apple does not want to go this way,
and thus aliases are, well, just a perpetual grief.
Of course aliases are useful and bring advantages. They've been used
successfully on the Mac for a long time.
Aliases and symlinks are not the same. Don't see them as such.
