How do I use Mac OS aliases in Sublime Text 3?

Question

I want to open the tree of folders which contains any code on my Mac in Sublime 3. Something like this:

example

But I don't have all of it in one folder, and it isn't convenient enough to open many folders in Sublime every time I close the app. So I have created 'aliases' (via Finder) to my folders and put them to one (folder), which i want to open with Sublime.

That didn't work out. Sublime opens these aliases as hex code. While ordinary folders open well.

example

So the main question: is there a way to make this work as I thought via preferences, or any plugin?

Use symbolic links instead by opening Terminal and using ln -s <SOURCE> <ALIAS>.

You can keep any number of folders you want collected in one place by using projects. Simply drag the folders you want, in the order you want, into the sidebar. Then, select Project -> Save Project As... and save the file anywhere you want with the .sublime-project extension. While you're at it, make sure you have

"hot_exit": true

in your user settings, as this enables you to close windows which have a project assigned to them, and all open files and unsaved changes are automatically preserved. When you next open the project, everything will be the same.
