If we want something more generic like “section” that could maybe even be applied to named sections of other linear features like city walls / walls, etc. I would not discard the idea of using some kind of relation for this (type=route is not suitable, or is it?). It is the most flexible way to tag as it allows for overlapping entities and avoids duplication of ways. If overlapping is not required, an additional property like xxx_name does it (according to what is xxx, an additional place or waterway or other classifying tag would be helpful).
