Re: LCSH "alternate labels"?

Apparently it is the new terminology for a "see from reference", aka the
450 in the authority record, aka the non-preferred term in the syndetic
structure of the catalog -- providing a link back to the preferred term
-- enter "Days of the week" and be referred to the use of "Days".

Would be grateful for an explanation of the use/ significance of
"alternate labels", as here for example:

http://id.loc.gov/authorities/sh85035979

Can we use the alternate label in a 650 if we prefer the term? If not,
how would it be used?
