Upgrade StorageFeature Requests: Alias Field
For some documents, it would be very helpful to have an alias field available that is searchable via the plugins.
Here is my use case: I have several Papal Wednesday Audiences I cite frequently in my research. The proper title is "Wednesday Audience" for all of them. They are differentiated by date.
In my note-taking, I just use YYYYMMDD to refer to them. so, 19851205 for December 5, 1985.
It would be glorious if there was a field I could have those shorthand date stamps so when citing them in Word I could plug that date stamp in to cite the document I want.
What I have tried that did not work:
"Short Title." Searchable to insert, but CMS/Turabian will used this field in some circumstances, so no good.
"Extra" Putting the date stamp in there does not make it accessible via the Word plugin as a searchable field. Also no good.
It seems for many frequently cited documents, or those that have unofficial nicknames in certain fields, having an alias field would be beneficial.
