install arch kernel to a destination

Sorry if it is old topic. I posted it here because I can't figure out myself.
I have Arch system on my computer using systemd-boot, UEFI.
I mounted ESP to /boot and everything ok, no problem.
But I'm now considering to install another Arch system onto another partition using shared /boot partition on this same computer.
Is there anything that I can make Arch installation to install kernel to a different destination other than default path.
For example, during standard installation process, I would like to make it to install like this,

/boot/SecondArch/vmlinuz-linux
/boot/SecondArch/initramfs-linux.img
/boot/SecondArch/initramfs-linux-fallback.img

Just mount the boot partition somewhere else, then bind mount a dir on it to /boot.
