Very easy to do, unambiguous and proper solution to what is a narrow but very deep hole lurking there. No need for ADS-B-whatever or CPDLC/S. Pure, old, tested and reliable geometry.
This was literally the first sentence in my comment weeks ago.

Worth bearing in mind that this will not work on some types (eg B787) as the 1000ft and 500ft auto call-outs are actually driven by barometric data.
