plugin add_filter

I am using a plugin that is using add_filter to attach a function to the_content function like this:

add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘attachedfunction’, 100);

Now, I want attachedfunction to do different things based on what section (not necessarily page) the_content is being called from.

The approach coming to my mind is create my own version of the_content function and add this line to my plugin

add_filter(‘the_content2’, ‘attachedfunction2’, 100);

anybody have an less clumsy approach?
