How to alias from within overwriteQuery

[Sjeiti]

Before v12 I had this lazy overwrite

Cypress.Commands.overwrite('get', (orig, selector, options={}) => {
  if (selector.substr(0, 1)==='@') {
    const name = selector.substr(1)
    const aliasExists = ((Cypress as any).state('aliases')||{}).hasOwnProperty(name)
    orig = aliasExists?orig:(()=>cy.get(`[data-cy=${name}]`).as(name))
  }
  return orig(selector, options)
})

This meant I could call cy.get('@foo') before having to do cy.get('[data-cy=foo]').as('foo').

I'm trying to reimplement this using overwriteQuery but I cannot seem to get the alias set.

The following works without setting the alias. I tried using cy.addAlias but didn't get very far.

Cypress.Commands.overwriteQuery('get', function newGet(originalFn, ...args) {

  const [selector, ...rest] = args
  const isAlias = selector.substr(0, 1)==='@'
  const name = isAlias&&selector.substr(1)
  const aliasExists = isAlias&&((Cypress as any).state('aliases')||{}).hasOwnProperty(name)
  const getAlias = isAlias&&!aliasExists

  const innerGet = getAlias
      ?originalFn.apply(this, [`[data-cy=${name}]`, ...rest]) // .as(name) ???
      :originalFn.apply(this, args)

  return (subject) => innerGet(subject)
})

any help is appreciated

I'm sure @BlueWinds would know the answer to this one.
