Zig Zag Using first touch of a price as the turning point

If price hits an extreme point for the run, bounces (less than the reversal amount) and then hits the same price again (double top/bottom), the turning point for the ZIG Zag will move from the first touch to the subsequent touch.
I would like the turning point to remain as the first touch of the extreme.
Any subsequent touch is not a new High or Low but is indicative of failure and will indicate probable divergence.
Could this different way of recognizing the extreme be an option in the option list?
