I had requested a similar feature a while back but I only wanted the 
alias to work within the current config file.
I just had a quick peek and can't find the thread, though tbh I didn't 
look to hard, and I can't remember the outcome of the request.

I was looking something like:
------------------
# Return to Main Menu
LABEL MainMenu
        MENU DEFAULT
        MENU LABEL ^Main Menu
        KERNEL vesamenu.c32

#
# Latest Release
#
LABEL latest
        MENU LABEL ^Latest Release
        GOTO linux-38
#
# Blank boots
#
LABEL linux-38
        MENU LABEL ^Blank Boot 3.8
        KERNEL knl/vmlinuz-rhes38-x86
        APPEND initrd=img/initrd-rhes38-x86.img
 
LABEL linux-30
        MENU LABEL Blank Boot 3.0
        KERNEL knl/vmlinuz-rhes3-x86
        APPEND initrd=img/initrd-rhes3-x86.img
--------------
