Hi Tony, It depends on how you want the output to look. I assume by "stacked" links you mean a duplicate spatial feature where there is an alternate name?
The simplest thing would be to use a Joiner to connect to the alternate names table. Use a 1:M join and enter a name for a list. A list is how FME manages multiple values for a single attribute. Then use a ListExploder. That will turn the single feature with multiple values into multiple features each with a single value. To keep the original road name as a feature, simply draw a second connection that bypasses the Joiner and goes directly into the output.
