I would like to be able to create an alias from directly within python in the same way that it would be created if I right clicked on the item in Finder and selected make alias
(see image below). macOS finder aliases are proprietary file formats, and are not the same thing as either a hard link or a symbolic link. The original file that I will be making an alias of and the destination path of the newly created alias will need to be passed as variables into an argument. I would prefer to just use the POSIX path of these items.
