The 'Great North Walk' https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1388126
has - the ways that form the route ... and
3 relations with the roles 'alternate' that form alternative paths ..
one of them is a closed section that was the original path but is in
conflict with a shooting range.

Do you have a link to an example?
I’m reminded of the Oregon Coast bicycle route, which has alternative
section s that leave the main highway to follow a scenic but longer
road through the hills or closer to the coast. There are also
alternatives that follow a Main Street (high street) through a village.
See pdf of route:
https://www.oregon.gov/odot/programs/tdd%20documents/oregon-coast-bike-route-map.pdf
My first thought is something like role=side_route for an
alternative which leads the main route but then rejoins. This is
similar to side_stream in waterway relations.
Perhaps approach or entrance segments could be tagged role=link -
echoing highways tagging? But that might imply a connection to another
route.

Long walking routes often have a main route and several additions
of various types. If these additions are not waymarked, they are
not recorded in OSM. Easy.
But often, they are. On maps these are usually shown as a striped
line, while the main route is usually a continuous line.
I would like to enable OSMrenderers and data users to
render/process the additions/alternatives differently than the
main route.
One solution just for rendering would be to optionally add
"striped" to the colour tag. Or dotted.
A more general solution would be something like alternative=yes,
additional=yes, approach=yes. A tag that covers all the variants,
I can't think of a suitable word.
the other way around: main_route=no?
