How can I implement the shortauthor field provided in my .bib file?

Absolutely loving typst. But I have this one stumbling block preventing me from completing my current project…

I’m using the “chicago-author-date” bibliography style. In my .bib file, I have an author who I want to appear in my bibliography as:

Ñāṇavīra Thera. 2010. Book Title, etc…

However, when I cite this author in the body of my text, I don’t want it to print his full name like this:

(Ñāṇavīra Thera 2010)

I just want it to print:

(Ñāṇavīra 2010)

This works fine in LaTeX if, in my .bib file, I use the shortauthor field, as follows:

@book{nanavira2010,
  author        = {{Ñāṇavīra Thera}},
  shortauthor   = {Ñāṇavīra},
  title         = ...
}

But if I use this same .bib file for my typst project, typst doesn’t seem to recognise that shortauthor field. My citations are printing the full author name.

Is there any way of replicating this shortauthor functionality in typst?

Instead of using a .bib file, I tried it with a hayagriva .yml file, including the alias field:

nanavira2010:
  type: book
  author: Ñāṇavīra Thera
  alias: Ñāṇavīra
  title: ...

That doesn’t work either. Is there an equivalent to shortauthor in hayagriva?

Thanks in advance.
