One downside of this approach might be that the menu item appears twice
in VoiceOver. (I haven’t tried it myself.)
A more targeted approach might be to attach a delegate to the menu that
contains the aliased item, and implement
-menuHasKeyEquivalent:forEvent:target:action: to return the Command+L
menu item’s target and action if it sees Command+Shift+L.
