I am not sure what you mean by "no snippet is revealed when you reveal an alias". I would not expect any to be.

An alias is a special kind of snippet itself, is one way to look at it. It is a data point attached to a topic, not a topic itself. I don't think anything is revealed unless the main topic is revealed. Revealing an alias is like revealing a snippet in that sense.. if the main topic is hidden, the revealed snippets can't be accessed. Once the topic is revealed, any pre-revealed snippets will be revealed, too. I'm not sure how different aliases are from that, but I would expect them to follow the same pattern.. they would not be visible if the main topic is not revealed.

Is that what you're getting at?

If that is it, then you can probably get more use out of what I described for "secret identities"... multiple topics that are connected by a relationship.
