Referencings aliases within the definition of other aliases

Use case:

Suppose I have the following aliase:

alias code-ex-proj = "code ~/example-project/ex-proj.code-workspace"

but, often I want to go into the project directory for whatever reason. Right now, we would have to add a bookmark:

bookmark ex-proj      = "~/example-project/ex-proj.code-workspace"
alias    code-ex-proj = "code ~/example-project/ex-proj.code-workspace"

It would be cleaner, if we could instead reference ex-proj in the target for code-ex-proj. Something like:

bookmark ex-proj      = "~/example-project/ex-proj.code-workspace"
alias    code-ex-proj = "code ${ex-proj}"

This would be super nice!
