It's peculiar.  I used it to make an Desktop alias of a WP document. 
Get Info said the alias was a file 100 times bigger than the document. 
Get Info also said I could change the original.  I changed it to an app. 
  The icon still said it was for the WP document.  Get Info said the 
alias was now a smaller file, a fraction of the size of the app which 
Get Info now said was the original.
