Toyed with alias a bit with the following results.

Alias is not a variable, it's simply a shortcut for a command sequence. Anything right of the colon is not processed prior to being assigned to the alias. It is only processed when the alias is called.

Macro
alias main_tank:%t

Targeting a player named Mike and hitting the macro does not produce
main_tank = Mike

If you setup a 2nd macro
assist main_tank

this is equiv to...
assist %t
not
assist Mike
