Can you override the deletion register when pasting from visual mode?

Is there any way to prevent the default register from being clobbered
when using the paste command in visual mode?

By default, when you use the `p` or `P` commands in visual mode, the
selected text overwrites the default register. Is there any way that
you can instruct Vim to write that text to another register?

Thanks in advance,
Drew
