Set current and next-minor-version, next-major-version aliases in BZ

Dear BZ admins --

Is there some way to associate "aliases" with actual field values in BZ?
 I'm thinking it would be useful to have alias assignments for
"Version", such as:

* "current" alias to be used for  4.1.1 (I see we already have used
"current" for Version, but I don't know if this is a hard assignment or
what).
* "next-minor-version" alias to be used for  4.1.2
* "next-major-versoin" alias to be used for 4.2.0

This would be very useful to track bugs for next releases, etc.

Thanks for the response even though it's not what I would have liked.

I will put in a request for this. Meanwhile, I will try to get more
creative.

Bugzilla currently doesn't know the concept of version- or milestone 
aliases. It's a good idea though. I suggest to submit it to them [1]. 
Bugzilla already supports name aliases for bug-ids, so extending this to 
other fields makes a lot of sense.
