merging discographies by alias

Is it possible to merge discographies and credits by linking with alias?  Jim Dickinson's page identifies that he's "also known as" James Luther Dickinson, but his alias isn't linked.  Jim released a couple of albums (e.g. one) under his informal name.  In the afterlife, his posthumous album was billed to his full birth name.  So fans know him by both names.

Zac, the answer to my question is: no.  If there's a way to merge at the artist-level, that way would be easier than merging every album in the discographies of both entities.  (In this example, fans who were introduced to James Luther Dickinson won't be made aware by Allmusic of albums billed to his alias.)

Yeah. I'll ask how best to handle this.
