A different type of link

I see your point. You would avoid that, though, if when what’s imported is an alias instead of the real document, the icon for the doc had a distinctive mark (a little green dot similar to Dropbox icons, for example).

This is already the case. Aliases in the binder have a little arrow, the same as the one used to signify aliases in the Finder (you can try this all out yourself in the current beta version). But a giant floating red arrow making chirruping sounds wouldn’t prevent some users from doing this accidentally. Moreover, it would be too easy to do it accidentally in Scrivener, because the Option key already had a purpose, as I say.

All the best,
Keith
