If you make an alias like normal, but instead of pressing enter, press
^Xa (_expand_alias), it should do what you want. This could then be
extended with a custom widget bound to accept-line that checks if the
current input is one of your special history-aliases and expand it for
you before accepting the line, etc.
skeleton example of the latter,
zle -N accept-line accept-line-history-alias
accept-line-history-alias() {
if [[ $BUFFER = histalias-* ]]; then
zle _expand_alias
fi
zle .$WIDGET
}
if you go this route, you could also use a custom lookup assoc array
instead of using aliases.
