I was considering a similar suggestion. This is what documents are
for. The fact that Windows uses shortcuts to pass command line
arguments is basically a hack.

What about defining a document type that you app handles.
Double clicking the document will run your app and send an 'odoc'
event to it, you then read whatever you need from the document.

I conclude that as of now it is not possible to modify alias to
also pass
command line parameters. So I have to choose some other way to
invoke the
application with parameters.
Thanks to everyone, but isn't it would be great if alias can also
keep the
parameters to invoke the application with. That would allow
application to
be run directly in some specific mode based on which alias is
triggered.
Alias would be small in size and it will not be like other
application which
will wait for the child application to quit. Anyway that was my
perspective.
Thanks again

Are you trying to something similar to the Windows feature that
allows you to assign command line parameters to be passed from
certain shortcuts to the applications that they launch?
