In Amiga shell, ALIAS is the command similar to the Mac alias which is only
capable of doing stuff in GUI.

For Amiga GUI, we have something call "IconX" which, may be less straight
forward than the Mac's alias, it will effectively do the same thing, plus
more for document specific scripts.

Oh, Amiga DOES NOT need a lot of desktop space compared to Mac, as we have
screens, which a lot of Mac users still not quite understand...
