I'm wondering if there isn't a risk of inconsistency, given that in clip the like dataset is used for bounds.
Do we really want only the crs, and not crs+extent ?
If only crs, not to sure about an alternative naming. like-crs could imply that we specify a CRS name as a value. crs-like ? Not too convinced

I'd say that in "clip", only the extent should be taken from --like, and in "reproject", only the CRS should be taken from --like. If we want to reproject and clip, we should use two pipeline steps.

maybe @jratike80 has some thoughts about that?
For the sake of brainstorming, another alternative could be to make --dst-crs accept a dataset name, although that could be messy, especially for autocompletion purposes

You could use the @filename syntax used elsewhere, though I think it's less clear/discoverable than a separate argument.
