Alinks and URL Aliases

In Alinks we define the destination URL in the form node/123,

if we are using URL aliases on the site and node/123 is aliased to say node/of/interest

is there a way of having Alinks using the alias

The only way i can see at present is by entering the alias as teh link in Alinks, which if you need to modify an alias at a later date could get missed, and then become an issue with search engines
