There is no way to get this kind of control. `substitute-command-keys' has some rules such as "prefer a binding using plain ascii keys" (so it'll prefer C-x < over C-next, based on the principle that not all terminals have a `next' key and even fewer have a way to generate a C-next event) and "prefer a shorter binding". In Emacs, what we do usually when we need to control which binding to show, is to define `advertized-foo' as an alias for `foo' and then bind the key we want shown to `advertized-foo' (and then use \\[advertized-foo] in the string). I find this to be a bad solution: it interacts very poorly with things like `remap' or `substitute-key-definition' and C-h f `foo' forgets to show the main advertized binding (bummer!). I think we should devise some way to get the desired result without going through contorsions like `advertized-bla'. I haven't thought very deep about how to do that, but the first thing that jumps to my mind is to rely on a `preferred-binding' property (containing a key-sequence) on the command symbol, or otherwise require the use of a menu-item for the main binding and then obey a boolean ":preferred-binding" property placed on the menu-item.
