I want to be able to add folders with aliases, but not have the alias show up in the diagram. That is, where it says "static" in the top part of the folder in the sample diagram here, I want to be left blank.

@startuml
skinparam defaultTextAlignment center
skinparam wrapWidth 200
skinparam maxMessageSize 150

hide stereotype

folder "==Static Content\n//<size:12>[File system]</size>//\n\n Serves static files from API website root" <<component>> as static

Is there a way to do this now, or could we get a skinparam for folder (and probably package since it seems to be the same underlying shape) that can turn off alias display? Thanks.

Finally, to keep things simple, we left blank the top part for folder, but not for package.

So you can have:

@startuml
skinparam defaultTextAlignment center
skinparam wrapWidth 200
skinparam maxMessageSize 150

hide stereotype

folder "==Static Content\n//<size:12>[File system]</size>//\n\n Serves static files from API website root" <<component>> as static1
package "==Static Content\n//<size:12>[File system]</size>//\n\n Serves static files from API website root" <<component>> as static2
