I also had a VX-6 and have often wished that my FT-60 had that feature as well.
The best you can do is to program the P1 or P2 button on the keypad to bring up the NAME function from the set menu.
Once programmed, briefly press the F/W key and then whichever "P" key you programmed. Then turn the main knob to select Alpha or Freq. Press the F/W key or PTT to exit. Your Alpha/Freq selection is on a per memory basis (not global) and will remain in effect for that memory until you change it back.
This method saves having to access the NAME function in the Set Menu (Press F/W, Press Set, Turn Main knob to "NAME (menu #27), Press F/W, turn Main knob to select Alpha or Freq, Press PTT to exit).
It only saves a couple of keystrokes and one instance of having to fiddle with the Main knob, but it helps.
FYI, on the other "P" key I've programmed "DC VLT" (Menu #12) so that with two quick key presses I can see the actual battery voltage.

Hello,
On my Yaesy VX-6 when in memory mode, when I press the Moni button ,
squelch opens and at the same time the memory name changes to the
frequency of that memory. So if you have a stored memory with an
Alphanumeric name but you don't remember the frequency of it you can see
it instantly with a momentary press on the Moni button.
Is there a way to do this on a FT-60 ?
I had a look at the manual and tried various key combinations of buttons
but couldn't find something.
Thank you
