Keeping track of files, i.e. aliases, NSURL's?

Hi,

My application needs to keep track of files while it runs, so when the user saves changes to a file, it will be able to resolve to the new location of the file if it has moved. I've looked at NSURL's which are confusing because the documentation states, "NSURLs can be used to refer to files, and are in fact the preferred way to do so" and also discusses resolving URLs. However, I've found there is no straight "resolve" method for using URL's. Maybe I am looking into the wrong class? Should I revert back to the Carbon (bleh) Alias Manager? What is the preferred way to do this in Cocoa?

Thanks in advance,
Tristan
