"Section* layouts do not appear in the table of contents, and LaTeX
does not offer a way of specifying an optional caption in these cases.
Therefore there is not much we can do about it.

You can use normal Section and redefine at LaTeX level how sections
appear. Something like this in the preamble
\usepackage{remreset}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{Article \Roman{section}}

will do what you want with normal Section layout, although it will not
show on screen (in 1.4.0 it will be possible to see the right thing on
screen if you make a (short) layout file)."
Certainly solved my problem.
