It works, at least for iPhoto. I accidentally discovered this shortcut
simply by 'checking' that the files in the new location were valid  by
double clicking and discovered the iPhoto window opened and from there on in
it just found the photos at that location (on an external HD) without ever
having to browse to set the new default.

Moving both iTunes and iPhoto to other drives sure freed up a lot of space
on my main HD and noticeably increased speed as it reduced HD usage from
about 85% to about 60%.
