is it possible to suppres the same part from different configurations in the same assembly.

Hello,
I have a challenge where several parts get unsuppressed in an assembly by one configuration.
choosing another "option" later on suppresses some of these parts yet again. Is this possible? what is a good strategy? 
the example is a frame with legs: if I choose the option "with legs" and later choose to add another frame, 2 of the legs become redundant and have to be removed again. (well its a bit more complex, but that'll illustrate best)

    You can't do it easily but one workaround is to use a folder as you can configure the suppression of a folder with one configuration input and what is in the folder with a different one, so you can get two "options" that way.

    @eric_pesty, neat trick!
    I was looking for a way to have conditional configurations, this workaround could accomplish that in some situations.
