Aliases for note names

I know I am late to this party, and I love the idea

I have started experimenting with a solution using the existing embedded link structure which partially works…

  1. Create a page with the main definition as the name - e.g. “Oscar Peterson”

  2. Create an “alias” page with the name “OP”, the contents of which are:
    ![[Oscar Peterson]]#alias

Try yourself… if you write a sentence such as “Oscar Peterson (OP) was a great jazz pianist” then when you view linked and unlinked mentions on the original Oscar Peterson page, you see the alias listed as such, and if you happen to click through to the the alias “OP” page in the linked mentions section, you also see the unlinked mention to the alias.

I realise this is only a partial solution, but when you link the unlinked “alias” mention it also works by showing a (nested) preview of the original source page on hover.
