You could definitely use a one pin connector symbol and a one pin footprint .=
.. just the names may feel confusing on the user end.

Hello all,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the replies, some of which were a little over my head,
some left me with more questions.<br>
<br>
The testpin symbol is a ready-made solution for one of my problems,
although I find it puzzling that there are no footprints for this
symbol in the standard installation.<br>
<br>
Bert Timmermans and Phil Taylor basically wrote the solution that I
first had in mind, but the way to achieve this is still a question
for me. Bert wrote:<br>
<br>
"<i>I use two single pin symbols in the schematic and connect (and
place a text "wire bridge"). I use two single pin footprints in
the pcb layout and draw the "wire" on a separate layer and
silkscreen.</i>"<br>
<br>
Where can I find pin symbols? In gschem I couldn't find them and the
symbols under Input/Output (generic) didn't work for me, even when I
assigned a footprint to them (I used a footprint of a single pin
header). Is this a case of rolling your own? <br>
<br>
In the mean time I used pin headers as a temporary solution and it
works. The board is a double layer hobby project in order to learn
to use gEDA, so it doesn't need to be professional, but still.... I
want to get it right.<br>
