The module will stop working when #2336597: Convert path aliases to full featured entities lands. Are there any plans for this currently? Maybe we can use this issue to start.

Thanks @pavlosdan for a heads up. I was not aware of that initiative. We can definitely start looking into adding a support for alias entities.

One other thing that I had in my mind that may or may not be related to this ticket is the fact that we currently only support nodes. Recently I've had a need to show multiple aliases for terms as well. So it may be worth it to start a new module that supports other entities as well and is based on new alias entities. Then I can deprecate this module in a favor of a new one. Just a thought...

@temkin thanks for the response and apologies for my late one. I started a sandbox project here https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/pavlos_dan/3039619 towards that end. I've done some minimal work and will be committing the code to that soon.

@temkin, I pushed what code I had and incorporated your code from #3040463: Prevent crashes when used in conjunction with other modules. I added you as a maintainer as well (let me know if any objections to this please). Shall we close this one and collaborate there on the sandbox's issue queue?

https://www.drupal.org/project/show_entity_aliases

promoted the sandbox to a full project as #2336597: Convert path aliases to full featured entities landed in 8.8

Closing this issue as "works as designed", since the module was meant for nodes as the name suggests and per #2.
