Description

Let's say I define some abstract model and when some database model inharits from the abstract model, I would like to have some other name for a field from the inharited model. This is fairly simple for most of the field types, with some changes in the query_utils. But This will need some extra work on GenericForeignKey, where I would like to have some FieldAlias which should behave like a ForeignKey (some inverse relation to a GenericRelation (which are not necessarily tied together)) on the GenericForeignKey.

Thanks for this ticket, it's an interesting idea but it's also quite niche. Personally, I would create a field subclass for frequently used set of field arguments.

It sounds like a third-party package is the best way to proceed so that people can try it out and then approaching the DevelopersMailingList to reach a wider audience and see what other think. Thanks.
