Instead of an alias of TextEdit docs, make an Alias of the mounted

On the sidebar of an open folder should be an entry with your
computer's name. It should be the at the top of the list.

Clicking on this should show you a list of all the mounted volumes.

If your network volume is mounted, then

Hold Option-Command
Click-and-Drag the mounted network volume to another folder

This will create an alias of the volume.

You can use the Command-Option-Click-Drag to create an alias of
any file or folder.
