Aha! I think this is essentially what you described in your last email when you said, >> OTOH, writing an AppleScript to make an alias in a folder that is >> never moved, writing elisp to call that script and then make an >> org-mode link to the alias just created might work for you. I guess that is how it is done. I think I can figure out how to do this much in elisp + a system language. The elisp side will be a good learning project. > One approach that sidesteps having to know the CoreFoundation.h stuff > is to use the BibDesk AppleScript capabilities.

I think I will likely write the non-emacs code using this, or AppleScript or Automator directly. -k.
