How do I set category attributes on an alias?

Douglas_Richardson_(drichard_(Delete)_3245824)

I'm trying to create an alias that has different attribute values than the object it points to. I'm able to do this using the LiveLink web client but I have not figured out how to do it using LAPI.I've tried two things that do not work:1) LL_CreateReferenceEx with the context parameter setup like the createInfo parameter on LL_CreateObjectEx. The documentation for LL_CreateReferenceEx doesn't say I can do this, but I tried and failed anyway.2) LL_SetObjectAttributesEx. The documentation says that this will not work but I tried and failed anyway. The documentation says that the objId parameter to LL_SetObjectAttributesEx can only have a Type field set to LL_OBJECTTYPE, but I need to be able to set it to LL_ALIASTYPE.Does anyone know how I can set attributes on an alias object?Thanks in advance.

Try not specifying a value for the Type field in the objID. ( A cheat, but seemed to work. )
