Aliases have long been something I have wanted. The best I see is to create a tiddler with the “alternate” name and link to the “main” one, but I would rather some seamless symlink-like experience.
You may already be aware, but I just wanted to note that while there’s no core mechanism for aliases (yet?) we do have at least two plugins that tackle the issue in slightly different ways:
- @mklauber’s Aliases: uses normal link syntax; generates automatic disambiguation pages as needed
-
@pmario’s uni-link: uses
[[alias|?]]syntax; greater flexibility in terms of choosing the field displayed as an alias link; includes some additional filter operators for working with alias links; no disambiguation
Personally I can’t live without some of the secondary features offered by uni-link, but the Aliases plugin may be closer to the sort of seamless integration you’re looking for.
