How can I rename clips without changing all clips for the same file?

Hello,

So I have many long takes in my timeline; each take has several moments that all will go into different places in my final edit. I want to rename a clip, but when I do, it updates ALL the clips in the timeline that are part of that one long take/file.

How can I change the names of clips within the same file without changing the names of all the other clips? I don't want to use bins, I just want to rename each clip that comes from the same single file. Thank you!

Best practice would be to make sub clips and use these on the timeline

You can name each sub clip whatever you want to
