How to create a low maintenance keyword driven framework

I am using Keyword driven framework where I am passing the object (Alias name of the object) and Keyword from excel file to my test. With every release, there are many changes in UI of the application so we update name mapping and update Alias names in affected test cases. But there are huge changes in UI this time and we will have to update large no. of test cases. How can I handle it smartly in the future? Is there a way that I do need to mention the entire Alias name in my script or excel sheet. Is it possible to just mention the logical name (Description)of the object and entire Alias name can be calculated during run time (just like it is done in QTP)? So that no matter how many changes I need to do in the name mapping file, I do not need to update each and every test step in my scripts.

 

Also, please suggest if there is any other way available to create low maintenance framework.
