I have marked this as completed, although I refuse to add 37589.

Could be that Lego considers Metallic Gold as a decoration and that is why it
is named "Parabola 6X6, No. 13"? as it only uses the No. designation for decorated
elements as far as I know.

And in that case the Design ID 73589 is not the mold ID.

For example:

https://brickset.com/parts/6316957/parabola-6x6-no-8

Has Design ID 69603

But it is just:

 
Part No: 44375bpb16  Name: Dish 6 x 6 Inverted (Radar) - Solid Studs with Scuffed Dark Turquoise Radial Background and Red Warning Label Pattern
* 
44375bpb16 Dish 6 x 6 Inverted (Radar) - Solid Studs with Scuffed Dark Turquoise Radial Background and Red Warning Label Pattern
Parts: Dish, Decorated

So, are we going to add the Design ID as Alternate IDs to all decorated parts
too?

Lego uses different design-id's for trans- and metallic colors.
So it's not because it's been seen as decoration.

No, just for metallic versions of regular parts, since BrickLink does not consider
these patterned parts but unique colors. So Design IDs for Metallic Gold, Metallic
Silver, and soon-to-be Metallic Copper can be added. Most of them (if not all)
already have been added.

Cheers,
Randy

No (at least not right know).
The item IDs for metallic gold and metallic silver have been added in the past
for some parts, maybe because they are listed like plain parts on BrickLink,
so I'm just following the tradition here.
