Oral torah

I am cataloging a dissertation on oral torah in the writings of R. Zadok 
ha-Kohen of Lublin (Torah shebe-al peh be-kitve R. Tsadoḳ Hakohen mi-Lublin / 
me-et Amirah Liver).  I think that a subject heading specific to oral torah 
would be appropriate for this title.  There is a subject heading: Tradition 
(Judaism), which has a cross reference Oral law (Judaism) but this subject 
heading seems overly broad to be considered a synonym for oral Torah.  Should 
someone (e.g. Daniel Lovins?) decouple these concepts through a SACO proposal 
for either Oral Torah or Oral Law?
