Override Section View Label

Is there a way to override the section label so that I can have two sections with the same name in the assembly. I am trying to create two separate drawings from the same model and have the sections start at A-A and go on from there.

There is not a really good way to do this. Things I have done in the past to solve this problem:

1. Delete the section note and add my own section note.

2. Make my second drawing use double letter sections  (Section AA-AA)

3. Make my second drawing use underscore in name (Section A_-A_)

4. Make a new assembly and the only component in the new assy is the old assy so I can make my section names

 

I'm sure i have used other "hacks" over the years, none are good, but I couldn't let this annoyance stop work!
