I think this means that I would have to define an Alias for anything I
want to link to from within Drupal's menus system that lives outside of
my Drupal installation, right?

That kind of defeats the point.

I think that

RewriteRule ^/drupal//(.*) /$1 [L]

Should fundamentally work: for any path that links to /drupal// assume
that drupal is taking over where it shouldn't and pull the /drupal/
part. Leave the /.

It doesn't, though.
