Accesing file pointer of a burn folder file

Hi All,

I am trying to create a virtual folder in Mac. What I am hoping to do is
that every file/folder dragged or copied into the virtual folder creates a
symbolic link or a fake file/folder pointing to the original file/folder
copied. I noticed that Burn folders does almost the same thing. But the
problem I am facing is that when I try to access the files of the burn
folder I cant get the file they are pointing to. I tried using stat as well
as readlink but it doesn't seem to work for burn folders. Is there a way to
solve this?

Or do you guys have any idea of a better way to implement what I am working
on?
