Renaming route and line names in a time slice without changing GUIDs

We use the Line Network model in ArcGIS Pro 3.1.7 and ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1. We have also set up both route/line ID and route/line name fields. I understand there are two ways to rename these. One is to use the Rename Route tool. It renames route/line names across all time slices without changing route/line IDs. The second way is to use the Reassign tool. It renames route/line names in a time slice but it also generates new route/line IDs essentially creating a brand new route/line. What we need is a way to rename route/line names for a single time slice (the latest) without changing route/line IDs.

Our ramps change their names if their milepost change (please do not tell me this is a bad naming convention. I do not have any control over that). We need to keep the historical names as well as the current names because some external systems or documents might refer to ramps using their historical names depending on when they got the names for ramps. So, for example. when a ramp "003P104085" was renamed to "003P104079" on 6/30/2023, we want to rename route/line names for the latest time slice (6/30/2023 - NULL) to the new name without changing the route/line names for the historical time slice (1/1/1900 - 6/30/2023) while keeping the GUIDs consistent.

Please advise how we can accomplish this. Thank you.
