[feature request] Anchor and alias

[uqix]

Given this yaml:

definitions:
  steps:
    # define
    - step: &build-test
        name: Build and test
        script:
          - mvn package
        artifacts:
          - target/**
    - step: &deploy
        name: Deploy
        deployment: test
        script:
          - ./deploy.sh target/my-app.jar

pipelines:
  branches:
    develop:
      # ref
      - step: *build-test
      - step: *deploy
    main:
      - step: *build-test
      - step:
          # ref and patch
          <<: *deploy
          deployment: production
          trigger: manual

Wish list:

• Jump to anchor (&) from alias (*), e.g. *build-test -> step: &build-test
• Select and jump to alias from anchor, e.g. step: &build-test -> {pipelines.branches.develop.[0], pipelines.branches.main.[0]}
• Select and insert alias after *, e.g. {build-test, deploy}

These are all great ideas. I'll try to find the time to work on these.

Thanks, just take your time, consider it low priority.
