Summary: 
When dropping an alias onto the Finder's sidebar, it takes the name of the target, not the alias. This is an issue because, in order to organize the sidebar, a user may want to have an alias have a different name than the target.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select item in Finder.
2. Hit command-L.
3. Rename alias to anything other than target.
4. Drag and drop onto sidebar.
5. The sidebar displays the target, not the alias.

Expected Results:
The sidebar would ideally display the alias.

Actual Results:
The sidebar displays the target, not the alias.

Regression:
Applies to both aliases and symlinks.
