External Files: Unique aliases and symlinks

[Henkhogan]

The request is to be capable to set a unique alias for external files. This alias should appear like a symlinked directory within a new folder ‘external’ that is located within the ‘~’ path.

Why needed? I have cross references between multiple external files. Absolute paths of these directories are not static - e.g. a path changes when I replace a file via file browser.

Currently I am looking for the path within bookmark.plist but this can only work as long as the file name is unique, but as uniqueness is not enforced, this is not a solid solution.
