Default Header/Footer "Same as previous" should let user choose any Sectio

The "Same as previous" feature in Word currently lets the user specify that
the header or footer should be populated with the same content as the
previous Section.

A refinement of this feature to allow the user to specify not just the one
"previous" section but to choose from a selection list of all previous
sections in the document would be a great help for a document which:
1. Repeatedly "alternates" the same recurring 2 or 3 headers or footers
(e.g. simply because of recurring changes in page orientation).
or
2. Has a headers/footer including the original text of a bookmark -
currently if the user deselects "Same as previous", this instantly means the
text in the current Section is no longer linked in any way to the original
"bookmark", and thus will no longer be updated when the bookmark in the
original Section is updated.

Note that you can insert, into an unlinked header or footer, the
contents of any header or footer: just bookmark the header (footer) to
insert and then add a cross-reference to the bookmark in question.
