Hello,

Snap reviewers can set up automatic alias activation (a feature called
"auto-aliases"). You can ask on this list for your snap to be allowed
automatic alias activation, a reviewer will verify your request to
ensure there are no conflicts and if so, enable this feature for your
snap. Technically this will be in the snap-declaration for your snap,
but that's handled by the Ubuntu store.

I suggest you do so on a new thread/message titled something like
"auto-alias request for YOUR SNAP" to ease tracking and avoid burying
information in other threads.

Cheers,
- Daniel
