Currently, alias creation only substitutes the raw value on custom properties that are entirely identical to the replacement value.
There's a few common cases where it would make a lot of sense to substitute this value if it occurs inside a more complex CSS property value (e.g. calc, shorthands, other multi component values that are not shorthand).
e.g. creating alias blue zodiac for #123456 should also result in
box-shadow: 10px 5px 5px #123456
changed to
box-shadow: 10px 5px 5px var(--blue-zodiac)
