Yup.

Org mode supports multiple ESS sessions in Org mode src blocks
(https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-R.html#org2a21acd)

However, we currently have to use a workaround that does not always work
well to assign separate sessions to R source blocks in Org mode.
ESS is the only comint mode that requires such workaround and does not
allow setting a specific process buffer name for a given R buffer.

We recently discovered `ess-gen-proc-buffer-name-function', but it does
not work as we expected, unfortunately. (which is either because we
misunderstand something or because there is a bug).
