Generally this goes against accepted Mac OS guidelines. But I
understand you might not have a choice. What you can do is either use
FSNewAlias to make an alias (shortcuts on Mac, will require you to
learn how Carbon file management works), or use the ln command line
tool to make a symbolic link (unix style shortcut). An alias is
usually more reliable because it will work if the real file is moved
(within the same disk) after the alias was made. Symlinks however
will break if the real file is moved since they point at a specific
path; aliases point at a specific file.
