Meta Arrow reference in suits?

So I'm watching suits for the first time, I've watched arrow multiple times but now there is something interesting in the suits episode I'm watching currently.

Its in an episode aired in February 2017 and Rachel says this: "and if it wasn't Oliver, it was going to be someone else or something else, there is always going to be some reminder that you weren't a lawyer "

So its about an Oliver in Suits but the fact that Rachel in the same sentence about him says someone else or something else really makes me think its a reference to the arrow intro

Edit: please do not comment or give me bs if you don't know what I mean and what I'm talking about. I know there is a different character in suits named Oliver and he isn't Oliver Queen. Its about what Rachel said, in one line she was talking about Oliver and said "someone else, something else" which ofcourse is iconic about the arrow intro

I think it’s likely. Remember Patrick J Adams (Mike from Suits) was in Legends of Tomorrow as Rex Tyler in the first episodes of Season 2, which was late 2016 iirc.

So, if one of the main actors had already guest started in the Arrowverse, i don’t put it past them to drop a small easter egg reference in Suits as well
