Describe the solution you'd like
Some notes generate an alias which contains a colon, e.g.,
---
aliases:
- Chapter 1: The Basics
---
However, this causes Obsidian to give an error "Type mismatch, expected Aliases". Is it possible for the CLI to wrap these in single or double quotes like below?

aliases:
- "Chapter 1: The Basics"
---
Describe alternatives you've considered
The following regex works to find aliases containing a colon, and wrap these in double quotes (tested in GrepWin with 'Dot matches newline' enabled):
- regex find:
(aliases:\r?\n)(- ([^:\r\n]+: [^\r\n]+))
- regex replace:
\1- "\3"
Manually fixing the aliases works too, but is tedious with large vaults.
Additional context
I believe this behaviour was introduced with f1c1159. See #682
