It would be nice to have a tie-in VS Code extension that added first-class support for aliases in Markdown files. I'm capturing some of the requirements here before starting development on it.
Proper Rendering
Aliases are rendered strangely within VS Code:
Rendering these aliases closer to links would be preferable:
Also perhaps displaying red squigglies if the alias wasn't found within the scope of the project.
Auto-Completion
While typing the [[ alias syntax, it would be nice to have an auto-complete dialog show with known aliases and their associated page titles.
Defining Aliases
It would be nice to have a way to easily define an alias for any active Markdown file, including inserting a meta-section into the file if none exists.
