not what I meant...

what you describe in your post works on my comp, and I use it. The problem is not with app alias, but with folder aliases.
For exemple, suppose I want in a folder in the dock:
-an alias of each of my HD
-an alias of my documents folder
-an alias of each of my Apps folders (OS9 and OS9)

Do do that, I create an empty folder somewhere in my document folder, I name it 'Menu' or something, drags aliases of the HD/folders mentioned above to it, and place the 'Menu' folder in the dock. Up to there, fine.
BUT if I click-and-hold on the 'Menu' folder in the dock, I only get the list of the aliases in it; no submenu. If I have, say, Dreamweaver in the OS9 app folder, I can only get to it by selecting "OS9 apps", waiting for the folder to open in the Finder, and THEN, double-click on the dreamweaver icon... pretty annoying.
Basicaly, it forces me to make aliases of all of my apps manualy, instead of just making ONE of my apps folders.

Additionaly, try making an alias of a folder somewhere, and then go into list view: you wont be able to expand the alias. See included pict for exemple:
