But it works that way. At least for me.

I tested it like this:

1. made a file and an alias of it:	test	test alias
2. deleted the file:				test alias
3. made another file			test	test alias
   (with the same name as the original
   the alias remains the same)
4. opened the alias => new file was opened

(The test files were TeachText documents.)
