How does this voodoo work?
Aliases!
System 7 added a feature called aliases, which lives on in macOS to this day.
System 7 aliases are smart enough to remember the AppleShare credentials and mount the drive automatically when opened. What AWW does is simply create an alias (stored in the resource fork of the stack) and then open it up when it's time to link. Super simple!
