#roamcult How do you handle aliases in @RoamResearch?
My current system:
I only create pages for nouns in singular form
(no verbs ,adjectives or plurals).
This means that I use aliases to link verbs, adjectives or plurals to their related "mother page" if needed.

I also only use the capitalized version of a term e.g [[Metaphor]] instead of creating a second one for [[metaphor]].
These clear rules help me to limit the chance of unwanted duplicates.

One downside of this approach might be that I don't leverage the power of unlinked references for words that I purposely don't create pages for e.g. an adjective like [[metaphorical]].
I am willing to trade this for simplicity and clarity though as it is still possible to link "metaphorical" to [[Metaphor]] using an alias [metaphorical]([[Metaphor]]).
What are other ways in which we could make aliases in @RoamResearch more powerful and/or easier to use? https://twitter.com/maxwschulz/status/1312875594586173444?s=20
