An other way may be to convert them into FSRef (using FSPathMakeRef())

There's a risk to that solution, though. A longstanding bug (2489632) in FSPathMakeRef (and thus with a few other routines that apparently use it) whereby symlinks are silently resolved. Depending on your needs, that may be a show-stopper.

Does FSPathMakeRefWithOptions with kFSPathMakeRefDoNotFollowLeafSymlink take care of that?

If it's available, yes. And I should have noted it but, in all honesty, I simply forgot it exists.
