This link does not work for me. Can you give the date so we can
track down the post. This would be a useful tip to put on the
Wiki... I've always gotten by in these situations somehow but not
in any correct way.
I entered the tip in the wiki at:
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Tips#toc4
I added a feature request here:
* add option for citealias to the bibtex dialog
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5266
Thanks to Stephen B. for the tip!!!
One additional tip...
If you are likely to use the aliases in many documents, you can put a
list of the \defcitealias commands in a tex file and then use Insert->
File->Child Document in LyX.
Thanks for putting this on the wiki.
I asked this same question about 10 years ago on a latex message board
and got the tip from Oren Patashnik (author of bibtex) himself! So
obviously it is not a well known command.
