Simply tag _both_ elements with the appropriate ignore-tag. In this case
the tag means "don't show _me_ if some other object has the same name"
and not "don't show any object with duplicate name"

This new object could be flagged by the validator assuming it has no

In this special case I do not see a problem because the name is similar
to an ID.

But it might be more difficult with other checks like crossing or
overlapping ways.

Assuming I have a crossing of ways where I would like to ignore the
crossing ways warning but I do not want to suppress it for every
crossing of a specific way with any other way.

The only solution without a reference to the other object I can think of
is to split the way and assign the tag only to a small segment similar
to the bridge or tunnel tag. But this could lead to other problems,
especially when other tests expect a closed way.

Maybe here we would need a relation with the "ignore crossing ways" tag
that contains the two ways.
