How can I change the internal pointer to a solid?

Everytime I delete a feature and create a new one the Solid number changes.  I can rename it at the browser level but anything derived from that solid is instead of looking at the new feature, wants the older feature.  

 

So, I create a box

I use the derive feature to create a part that splits that box in 4 pieces.

 

I delete the box cause ... reasons.   Then I create a new box.  

The solid number is now Solid2 and not Solid1.

I rename the solid to Solid 1 so the derived part knows where to look.

No dice, the Split feature is gone and I have to start over.  

 

Now expand this for all changes on something involving 1000 parts.  If I could just rename the solid to Solid1 so that the derived component knows to import the only solid in the model, rather than look for a new one, every downstream affected derived part can work fine (or at least a little better).
