Is there any way to change the Object Alias during game play?

What I have been doing is switching the object for an identical one with the name I want, but this is becoming unwieldy. I have the feeling that there is a better way to do it but I can't figure it out.

You just need to change the "alias" property. In ASL use this command:

property <object; alias=new alias>

And in QDK, add a script command:

Objects > Change/add an object/room property

Object or Room name: your object name

Property data: alias=the new alias

That is so simple, I kind of thought it would be. Thank you very much.
