Thanks! It took some iterations to formulate the simplest (?) solution for this very fundamental issue that I ran smack into within two weeks of using Obsidian. Which is amazing and has transformed my work 
It does seem strange though that this rather simple (?) vision keeps being articulated for the past two years, since at least May 2020 in the thread you posted, and already twice since I made this topic six weeks ago:
Aliases, Inflection and Auto-Updating
Automatically insert aliases into YAML frontmatter
It seems to be a problem of different vocabulary referring to the same process? Maybe we could compile a list and go meta!
