Error message needs better info when using "Open all items"

I use Overflow to launch some stubborn startup items that just don't seem to stick in the Startup Items prefs. Typically I have to dig into package contents to get these helper apps to launch.

I use the contextual menu "Open all items" to launch these, but after updating the apps, the alias are invalid. Overflow gives me an error message for each, but doesn't specify which app needs attention. Would be nice to have the error message state the actual name of the item that needs fixing.

I think this glitch comes into play because normally one would be launching a single item and know exactly which item was broken; in the case of "open all items" it needs more granular info as to which app in particular needs attention.
