Is this what you are looking for?
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailboxAlias
It seems already be implemented...

I'd like to configure my dovecot service to use the IMAP SPECIAL-USE
well, in my experience SPECIAL-USE is just a suggestions to clients. Check
RFC 6154 for MUSTs, you'll find only few. Hence, how the client (or the
server) behaves in a special case is implementor-defined.
I do expect that any client supporting SPECIAL-USE honors the server
setting (first time it connects to the server or everytime, but at least
once) and creates the mailboxes it uses itself.
Otherwise, Dovecot can autocreate the mailboxes regardless of its use:

There was a similar discussion about this on list some time ago, about
whether or not Dovecot could utilize special use 'aliases' that your
clients may want to use by default, and Dovecot would automatically map
those requests to a single mailbox.
E.g.:
Outlook clients would see/use 'Sent Items'
Thunderbird would see/use 'Sent'
But both would be mapped to a single mailbox 'Sent' (or whatever you had
defined as the actual mailbox).
Personally I would love to see this implemented.
