Hmm, I believe I could write a little apple script to create an alias for
the selected item on the desktop. I wonder if that would work just for file
/ folders or for other items :--
tell ap First guess:
tell Application Finder
set a to the selection of the frontmost window
set thedeskTop
Could you not just create a shortcut in VO utility for the keyboard commander?

Hi all,
I really thought there was a shortcut for this, but now I can't figure it out.

Something else you can do is to navigate to the downloads folder, press command

I did tha but things got a bit cluddered. I need to clean up my desktop
eventally. lol!

downloads folder from there.
