For cross-linking properties with other vocabularies, we use P1628 "Equivalent
Property", not aliases. I don't see how an alias would be useful for that. P1628
allows you to specify URIs, and it is itself marked as equivalent to
owl:equivalentProperty, so it can be used directly by reasoners.

That's the idea, yes, we just call the deferred labels "aliases".
