Yes, I know it will see an alias of the master folder ("Sampler Instruments"), 
and in fact I do use that feature so I don't have to keep my samples on my 
boot drive... but that's not the issue. The issue is being able to assign 
instruments to more than one subcategory (folder or subfolder) such that, 
when you make any changes to one version of it, the other changes as well. 
The only way I know of to accomplish that would be with aliases, and frankly I 
am mystified as to why this feature is not implemented....
