I'm working on official support for aliases with arguments at the moment.

To give you an idea about the syntax, here are some examples of aliases:

ALIASES        = xreflist{3}="\xrefitem \1 \"\2\" \"\3\" " \
                 reminder="\xreflist{reminders,Reminder,Reminders}" \
                 l{1}="\ref \1" \
                 l{2}="\ref \1 \"\2\"" \
                 table{1}="<table border=0 cellspacing=2
cellpadding=0>\theader{\1}"  \
                 theader{1}="<tr><th bgcolor=\"FFFF00\" colspan=3>\1" \
                 row3{3}="<tr><td>\1 <td>\2 <td>\3 </tr>" \
                 endtable="</table>" \
                 Bold{1}="<b>\1</b>" \
                 Emph{1}="<em>\1</em>"

And some code using the aliases:

/** \reminder This needs to be renamed
 *  \reminder Also a redesign would be handy
 *  See \l{Base} or \l{Base,the other class}.
 *  A nice table:
 *  \table{Heading}
 *  \row3{ cell(1\,1) , cell(1\,2) , cell(1\,3) }
 *  \row3{ cell(2\,1) , cell(2\,2) , cell(2\,3) }
 *  \endtable
 *  \Bold{Some \Emph{text} here}
 */
class Test
{
};

/** Some class */
class Base
{
};
