That's not recommended. Software Update looks on the specified disk regardless of redirects. Also, some applications require special system drivers or extensions and simply copying the application to the new Applications folder will break those apps. But if you don't mind that, it's possible to copy apps in bulk to the "Applications" folder. --Gnarlie
