Do you have a link to an example? I’m reminded of the Oregon Coast bicycle route, which has alternative section s that leave the main highway to follow a scenic but longer road through the hills or closer to the coast. There are also alternatives that follow a Main Street (high street) through a village.
See pdf of route: https://www.oregon.gov/odot/programs/tdd%20documents/oregon-coast-bike-route-map.pdf My first thought is something like role=side_route for an alternative which leads the main route but then rejoins. This is similar to side_stream in waterway relations. Perhaps approach or entrance segments could be tagged role=link - echoing highways tagging? But that might imply a connection to another route.
