Generally, symbolic links don't provide this functionality while
aliases (and alias files) do. In theory, if it's possible for the
alias manager to do it, it might be possible for you to do it, but I
don't think that's a feasible approach.
Just so you know, even aliases aren't guaranteed to be able to find
moved files. They just have a better shot at doing so than most other
techniques.
