[mb-users] Using Artist Aliases

Just had a quick question regarding the aliases style considerations.
>From what I understand an artist is entered under his/her full legal
name (or main performance name), and aliases are attached to that
artist record. So you end up with something like:
Artist Main Name
Aliases: AMN, DJ Artist, DJ AMN
Now the artist has released a ton of material, say 50% under Artist
Main Name, 25% under DJ Artist and the rest under AMN and DJ AMN. Do
those albums/tracks not released under Artist Main Name get entered
into MB under Artist Main Name or under the alias? I'm just confused
because the aliases appear on the Artist Main Name page but there
seems to be no way to attach the alias to the album or track released.
Hope that wasn't too convoluted/confusing.
