I understand your position that it's difficult to go from "pass list"
to "pass show" because of the tree output.  The tree listing is
friendly to the eyes but not so useful for copy/paste selecting.  Your
desire is to make *every* entry shown by "pass list" easily
selectable, not just the ones you chose to give a nickname.

To be honest that's why I almost never use pass list.  I tend to use
the find command so each entry name is fully contained on a line.  The
ability to traverse the data structure outside of the pass command is
one of its greatest strengths.  With that it's easy to copy/paste, or
to add nicknames as Thorsten suggested, or to use a dmenu-like tool
for interactive selection.
