start brew cask apps from terminal

I installed signal using brew cask (brew cask install signal)

I would like to be able to start the GUI app from terminal by typing signal(e.g.: to run the GUI of emacs [installed using brew cask] I can type emacs)

Maybe there is a way to edit the cask file to create this link?

I understand that I can create an alias in my zsh config file, but I was wondering if that is the correct approach.

You can use open to open any app on macOS, it's not related to homebrew, but you can extend your integration as you see fit. Example: open -a signal.
