Create a custom URL alias for media entity download

Created on 8 November 2018, over 6 years ago

Media entities have their own URL aliases through the core module path. It is meant to alias the entity default view path.
For media_entity_download it could be a big gain to have a totally independent URL alias to allow creation of arbitrary and persistent URLs to files - leaving /media/{id}/download behind.

    While troubleshooting a new site with media entity download where path aliases were not working—I came across this issue. It seemed odd as several of our other D8+ (all D9 or D10 now) were working with the path alias instead of the /media/id/download. It turns out that we nearly always use subpathauto, which solves the issue of having a media alias path with media entity download quite well. Posting in case this unblocks anyone else looking for a solution in this space. 😅
