Can you define “yes”? A lot of verbs that take both a direct object and an indirect object, allow the indirect object to appear first without the preposition “to ” (or sometimes ” for “). Which construct is called the dative alternative?

The term “alternation” suggests that the construct with the direct object first, followed by “to ” (or sometimes “for “) + the indirect object is the “standard” construct.

But when the stress in more on the direct object than on the indirect object, and when the indirect object is short (such as a simple personal pronoun or a name), I would say that the dative alternative is the preferred form.
