I'd like to create normal file aliases for files. Initially I tried using NSWorkspace, but that didn't work for me.

Could someone let me know if NSWorkspace is supposed to work for this task or not or if NSFileManager or similar might be a better bet.

IIRC, only the Finder can create aliases. You should be able to instruct the Finder to make them through NSAppleScript. NSFileManager can create hard and symbolic links, which are both different from aliases although the Finder treats symbolic links similarly to aliases.
