Symfony2 - how to override an entity?

Question

symfony

There is a bundle, it has related entities in the Entity folder, configuration with annotations. I need to redefine a couple of mappings, add a couple of properties and methods. The docs say:
Due to the way Doctrine works, it is not possible to override entity mapping of a bundle. However, if a bundle provides a mapped superclass (such as the User entity in the FOSUserBundle) one can override attributes and associations. Learn more about this feature and its limitations in the Doctrine documentation.
Actually, the bundle itself was written, so answers are welcome, including changes to the bundle itself.

The docs mean that if you inherit from a class that is MappedSuperClass, you can override properties or methods. But just redefining the entity will not work. As an option - try to play around with aliases for entities, i.e. create your own alias of type MySuperApp:Entity, and define the path to it dynamically. But to be honest, I doubt it will work.
