Dovecot and Sieve are oblivious to aliases. Resolving those is the
responsibility of your MTA.

You can indeed use Sieve to force delivery to additional recipients
using additional to=, or cc= recipients, or separate notify actions,
which triggers separate mail transmissions for each recipient. However,
if aliases are involved, this can also cause duplicate notifications on
the receiving end...
