> Is there any "official" way to connect SMD pads to polygons in PCB?

There are no official "thermals" for SMD pads.  There was a patch
submitted to do so, and there's no reason why it couldn't work, but it
takes some thinking to figure out the "right" thermal pattern for
various smd pads.  For example, compare an 0805 pad's possible
thermals to a TQFP144 pad's possible thermals.  The patch is probably
still in the tracker and could be completed if you want.
