Use original slot type in intent after extending type for a different intent

I have extended the AMAZON.Person slot type to include other utterances for one of my intents: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/custom-skills/slot-type-reference.html#h2_extend_types

For a new intent (within the same skill), I want to use the original, un-extended, version of AMAZON.Person. Is there any way to give the extended version a different alias (i.e. PersonExtended) so I can still use the original AMAZON.Person in my new intent?

Hi Developers,

Once Amazon built-in slot is extended you can't use the original version in that skill.

I'd suggest you posting this as a feature request in Uservoice for Alexa over here.

I am also looking for some way to implement AMAZON.Person in the same way.
