You can still create the alias like in OS 9 and click it for access. The first time you do that for each different networked computer in OS X, the login window will come up asking for your account info. Click the "Options" button and select "Add to keychain." After the login info is added to the keychain, you'll be able to click on the alias and mount the drive instantly as you did in 9.
