If you try to specify an ISO image to be attached to a vm, in the open dialog any Alias entries are grayed out.
If SymLink (via Terminal.app) entries are established/substituted, such entries in the open dialog are supported - not grayed out.

Re: VB V4.0 Open CD-DVD image does not support Aliases
came across a bug report

VB for Mac OS X Host should handle an Alias as if it is a symlink.
