You can't use Alias in an htaccess file. You can do something similar using mod_rewrite but you can not alias to a folder outside of the document root. That means, in your example, if /var/www/core/static isn't in your document root, then you can't link to it. The htaccess file is a "per directory" context, and has no way of knowing anything that is outside of the document root.

The mod_rewrite way works something like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^static/(.*)$ /core/static [L]

Assuming that /core/static is inside your document root. If not, there's nothing you can do with an htaccess file.
