The real way to do this would be an included way to simply add a material. If you just need another material, maybe "4140 prehardened" (a steel), or something more esoteric, like one of the types of "Zamak" casting alloy, there should be a way to add it somewhere, with a minimum of trouble, filling in the properties that you need for what you are doing. If you do not need resistivity, then leave it blank.
The same issue exists for screw threads. It's a nuisance to add them, no way to "just add one". (or to "just edit" one, for that matter.)
It seems that there should be. It cannot be that hard, it is basically filling out a form and having that added to a file in the correct format. There are plenty of such "fill out the form" windows in Alibre already. And most of them have the ability to edit and view the list of available things as well.
