Default Media Explorer: Symlinks / Aliases unsupported

OS X 10.11.3
Reaper64 v5.15

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create an alias or symlink somewhere on a drive.
2. Attempt to navigate to it in the Media Explorer

Expected: Alias/symlink shows up in file browser and is navigable

Actual: Alias/symlink totally missing from file browser.

Yes, it can be a big problem depending on your workflow.
Please Cockos, consider to change this behaviour, it will be amazing.

Bump.

I use a lot of these for multiple-drive setups common in many studios, especially networked drive aliases, etc.

symlinks should be supported already (but yes, aliases are unsupported, we'll look at this someday)
