While filling in some missing author information to clean up some "unknowns" in my author charts, I ran into some issues that involved a disambiguated/divided author page that was aliased into an author page with no disambiguation. The alias should have been the other way around in my opinion, but I found out that LT doesn't support that. I also found out that I can't link to a divided author page with a touchstone or a CK relationship.
Some names are common, so it would be nice if LT could support relationship/alias/touchstone links to divided author pages the same way that they do for other author pages.

Yes.
I have used HTML (a href tag) in Talk/Written in Stone posts and also the Short biography CK field (to refer people to an aliased author page). However, that's clunky and far from ideal.
