Creating aliases by id

[errant lion]

So, my question is really simple: is it possible to create an alias just using the name of the alias and the id of the emoji? Something like /alias add name:nqn emoji:123456789012345678
At the moment I'm doing the following:

• Creating a txt file on my device
• Writing there the emoji id and name of the alias (like ![nqn](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/675343289754583100.webp?size=128 "nqn"))
• Importing it using the import command

But yk this is a bit tricky and I'd really like to use an easier method...
Thanks!

The bot replaced my original message 🗿

There's no easier method at the moment, though it's something I've been considering adding

The main problem is that I'd rather not add a dedicated command just for this, as it's only something I expect power users to want, and the alias search command doesn't feel like the right tool for the job

Mmh I see what you mean.
Personally I don't see anything bad in adding a subcommand of alias, though calling it add may be confusing for users in some way

This will be in the next release of the bot in the next couple of hours.

Oh wow, thank you so much

If you use /alias search with an emoji ID or URL in the 'search' field, it'll prompt you for a name to call it, or if the emote doesn't exist inform you. If you use the animated tag, you can force an animated emoji to be added as static.

Fantastic, thanks for implementing this feature

This feature is now pushed to main bot
