I'm sure that still works with aliases. Then you'll have dl/source and Doenloads/source that are the same location. Using aliases will mean any script or program you may use that might point to them won't just create a new default folder that is then no longer the same location as the renamed one that you'll expect everything in

ok but if i open a gui file explorer, i can type dl to go to focus downloads, and do can match downloads or documents (or dotfiles)

Oh, yeah i think i also confused them with symlinks, you could use them?
