Are you allowed to use Clojure 1.11? Then you can use as-alias which kondo already understands

I can, thanks for the info!

What’s the ‘as-alias’ you are referring to? Searching https://clojure.github.io/clojure/branch-master/index.html has no result.

That info is here: https://clojure.org/news/2021/09/17/deref

It's a new option in :require

Yes. It’s there: https://clojure.github.io/clojure/branch-master/clojure.core-api.html#:~:text=the%20current%20namespace.%0A%3A-,as%2Dalias%20takes%20a,-symbol%20as%20its

(ns foo (:require [foobar :as-alias foo]))
::foo/bar ;; :foobar/bar
