It is not like UA's system where you can book a ticket through the UA site on Avianca issued as a 016 ticket and get award miles, PQM, PDQ.
If you book via alaskaair.com, will they sell you an AA ticket (for cash, not for miles) that doesn't have an AS codeshare number? That would seem to be what this boils down to.
