You have to try it but I think it still works. Aliases just replaced the text you typed with text in the alias, so if you append a subfolder to the alias it should also be appended to the command.
It's like using !! when navigating folders. You can do
cd ~/Downloadsand then!!/sourceand it resolves tocd ~/Downloads/source
