[[push]] [[agora frs]]

# [[Feature request]]
The [[Agora]] already has [[action]]s that indicate [[transclusion]] (with directions) through `push` and `push`. We should also have [[action]]s to indicate garden-side [[node]] [[aliasing]].

Node aliasing is useful for allowing an user to deviate from conventions about node naming, while still maintaining [[wikilink]]s as [[first-class citizen]]s.

## Possible syntaxes
We should have multiple conventions:

**Inline:**

- tag action: `#alias [[node]]`
- link action: `[[alias]] [[node]]`
- list:

		- [[alias]]
			- [[node]]
			- [[page]]
			- [[entry]]
			- [[thread]]
		- #alias 
			- [[nickname]]
			- [[pseudonym]]
			- [[aka]]
			- [[also known as]]

- [[@flancian]]: `[[node]] == [[node]]`

**Front matter/Global files**

- Markdown front matter: `agora-alias: node`
- HTML data attribute: `data-agora-alias='node'`
- (in the future) [[agora garden yaml file]]:

		agora-alias:
			- node:
				- page
				- entry
				- thread
			- alias:
				- nickname
				- pseudonym
				- aka
				- also known as
