Section Reference View Reference Labels

We have our Section Tag. When I create a Section Tag as a Reference View, we have a Reference label that automatically turns on, lets say that says "SIM".

 

Now, if I wanted a Section Tag as a Reference view with a Reference Label that said "OPP.", I can't. Since Section Tags and Section Tags that are Reference Views all use the same Type, I can only have 1 reference Label.

 

What I'm trying to do works with Elevation Tags, but not Sections.

 

Anyone have a solution other than dummy text floating near the Section tags?

We chatted about this a couple of weeks ago...it is one or the other (opp or sim) for sections and callouts.

"Reference Label" is a property of the view being referenced and not that of the section's or callout's instance. ie: all callouts/sections that reference one single view (ie: using option bar >> Reference other view) will display the same label.... Either SIM or OPP

 

For it to work you need to have 2 distinct views which section/callout tags refer to;  one for SIMs and one for OPP...which I believe is logical considering that an Opposite Hand detail cannot have the same detail as it's mirrored counter view!!
