Free label for free games with fixed payment options

Ideally, I want to have my game completely free on Itch and have an option to pay a fixed amount to support the game and get some goodies (like the soundtrack). The problem is if I do that, it wont show up under the Free section of Itch and the price tag will show up on all the thumbnails, leading to people thinking the game isn't free. I wish there was a way to label your game as Free while still having a fixed payment option for people who want to support. Maybe a Free Demo label/section would be helpful too for games that want to use the embed feature to have a free demo.

Instead I plan to just keep my game free here and try to push people to support through Patreon and Steam. Which seems like what some other games here are doing too. I feel like this adding this suggestion might help get some more money to go through this site instead of into valve/patreon's pockets.
