Creating multiple aliases for a single entity

I know in SEO you wouldn't have the same content at two separate URL's but I believe I have a genuine use case for 2 aliases for the same entity. I'm using view modes to render variations of a specific entity. For example I have a Competition entity that has a URL of /competition/my-new-comp

Then I have view modes and separate routes set up in my routing file that direct to those view modes, and the URL structure is /competition/my-new-comp/participants and /competition/my-new-comp/register

If I manually create the aliases then everything works, my question is, where would be the best place to generate the additional aliases. Looking at \Drupal\pathauto\PathautoGenerator::createEntityAlias that won't work because \Drupal\pathauto\PathautoGenerator::getPatternByEntity will only select one pattern even If i've created multiple patterns.

Is there a good place to hook in and write custom code to generate the view mode aliases?

    Doesn't work apparently for commerce products. Apparently the error is

    AssertionError: The file specified by the given app root, relative path and file name (/var/www/public_html/modules/pathauto/pathauto.info.yml) do not exist. in assert() (line 68 of /var/www/public_html/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Extension/Extension.php)

    I could use this for crawlers that keep looking for and old link

    I have a requirement here where a commerce product can be reached via several paths. I want to have a URL per taxonomy term - so need to be able to have multiple URL aliases per Commerce Product - all with a single canonical. Does this patch work with Commerce Products - I saw in a note that there was an issue? Thanks for the work here - really enjoying D8/9/10...

    What does prevent from merging the latest patch exactly ?
