That is a solution. Haven’t really seen any comprehensive labels that would clearly indicate all the capabilities of the cable. Maybe there’s a thunderbolt logo, maybe 100W is written on it? If you’re lucky. Definitely can’t have both at the same time though. I guess that leaves me with approximately zero cables I’ll be buying in the future.
Have a look at this for instance. If a charger manufacturer can’t be bothered to put any useful labels on the cables, what do you think anyone else will do?
It’s a 60 W cable, so how about you write 60 W on it, so that the people who bought your 100 W charger won’t be disappointed? Too much effort, I guess.

Why did my house burn down, I only put 60w of 5v through the 60w cable?
Because you bypassed the PD chip. With great current comes great responsibility.
While you’re at it, consider dropping to just 100 mV and keeping the power at 60 W to see what happens. Should be interesting.
