I think this is a great question, but unfortunately I don’t think it’s possible. I made a somewhat similar request a while back here: Nesting functional links within link names
Sounds like you know what’s up already, but, just in case, I figured I’d make sure you know you can do [[Actual Note Name |Displayed Link Name]] to link to the note called ‘Actual Note Name‘ but have the link in Preview Mode displayed as ‘Displayed Link Name’. Good luck!
AND…do you mind telling me a bit more about the actual v. displayed name? Is this part of the “aliases” topic? I’m not sure I understand the use case for doing what you’re describing.
Basically you just add a | then the custom preview name you want displayed after the actual note you are linking to. Of course, all of this is within the context of using the [[ links.
I realize now that this tip about using pretty links wasn’t really relevant to what you were asking. I think I originally misunderstood what you were asking so that idea was in my head, then after linking to my old post I immediately transitioned into explain this tip without really thinking it through.
I refer to aliases wrongly in that post although aliases are somewhat relevant in a sense that many people would like the use of a certain pretty link for a note to automatically define an alias. Automatically insert aliases into frontmatter from newly created aliases Wow, I am making this all very confusing. https://help.obsidian.md/How+to/Add+aliases+to+note My bad. Aliases can be defined with the front matter of a note so that you can easily link to said note by typing that or any other defined alias name after the [[ and using the suggestions pop up.
I saw your other post asking about tips for learning. I assume you’ve been through the help vault. If not it is definitely worth a wander.

I’ve checked it out, and there is definitely a lot of worthwhile information in there! I doubt I’m totally alone in saying that until this “clicks” for me, wandering says it all.
