That presupposes that you know the second source when you are working
on the project.  Part might be obsoleted years from now.
New second source symbol would have to be created when
a part is obsoleted, this seems unnecessary to me, as this still
involves the engineering staff for what might be a simple clerical
function.

There very well could be more than only two alternatives as well.

Have files with the same name, but different content, is a bad idea.
IT: Disk drive is getting full, lets delete all duplicate files based
on name and
identical file size...  I've seen things like that really happen.
