"crossref" fields are already part of BibTeX.  Do you say biblatex
"crossref" fields go beyond what BibTeX "crossref" fields offer?
Please be specific in a new bug report.

Agreed, field aliases including customizable field aliases could be
useful.  Aliases for entries would probably be yet more useful.
If I remember correctly, biblatex defines a bunch of entry types that
are really just aliases for other entries.

If you submit a separate bug report, please include a description what a
meaningful support could look like.  As far as I know, emacs does not
provide a good general scheme for filling a set of fields like "given",
"prefix", and "family".  I am not sure the above justifies to come up
with a sophisticated scheme for that.
