Try ^x h and you should see something like (warning: these are long
lines I've not attempted to wrap myself so anything could happen):

tags in context :completion::complete:-command-::

The "suffix-aliases" is obviously relevant here.  As you can see it's
handled by _command_names.  (Well, OK, it might be handled by _autocd
but it isn't.)  If you look in there you'll see it's calling
_suffix_alias_files.  I don't see any obvious styles to get in the way.
