I just looked up CDPATH and my understanding is that the difference between the two is that with CDPATH you are setting directories that you can quickly navigate to subdirectories of. This is more of a quick link to directories themselves. Maybe you could do something similar to the alias if you had my `~/.links` directory in your CDPATH, but then you'd still need to add the `-P`every time to get it to follow the symbolic link. Not something I had ever thought of before honestly.
