Alternate Section View with Same Label

Anyone know if there is a 'clean' way to have an alternate "Section A-A" for example. Maybe that is not correct to have an alternate view, but I want to. And by clean I mean I can 'fool' it by making another section and call it A-A and essentially blanking out the letter in the parent view, but not 'clean' to me.
Anyone? Or even a better method to 'mess with sasquatch'?

Thanks

Try entering "A " as the text.
Other programs allow you to have a section sketch named the same as another feature because it is a different feature type.

If you have a sketch called "Base" you can call your Extrude "Base " and have 2 features with what looks like the same name in the Feature Manager.

Thinking you may be able to trick it this way It may look funny if it works to correct that put a space before and after A so the text lines up
Section A-A
Section "A -A "
Section " A - A "

Other than that create a note and while entering text select the original view label to see if you get linked text.
