I typed in some OpenPanel: “/tmp/a1 alias/a2/aFile” and “/private/tmp/a1/a2/aFile” was opened without any problems.
But this may well be the only place where this works.
My app just needs the same functionality.

No, it does not. It just wants to read files.

What I need is:
goodPath = [ pathFromFSEventStream hasPrefix: somePath ]
pathFromFSEventStream might no longer exist (FSEventStream notifying me of it’s demise). I would still consider it a “ goodPath” if it has the right prefix.
Even if it does exist, I would need something like:
[ fileResourceIdentifierFromFSEventStream isEqualOrDescendentOf: someFileResourceIdentifier ].
This might become rather more involved than a simple hasPrefix.
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
