Explain the problem as you see it
There's a problem with the flexibility of use of aliases, especially when I'm working with academic stuff that requires a lot of citations. In roam, it's rather easy to just 'paste as alias' or convert a block of text into an alias "*". It's not easy to do in Tana.
Why is this a problem for you?
Friction, a lot of it. It makes working in Tana for this use case very difficult.
Suggest a solution
I'd suggest a command for 'copy as alias' and 'paste as alias' which I can then assign a hotkey to work with this more easily.
