Rather than introducing a whole new div, you could also use either of:

  ### Add a class to the link:
  NO.ATagParams.dataWrap = class="{field:alias}"

...or...

  ### Add a class to the list-item:
  NO.wrapItemAndSub.dataWrap = <li class="{field:alias}">|</li>

Also, since the alias field's contents should be unique, you could
output it as an id instead of a class if that suits your use-case.
