If there is a quick fix for blind/buried vias without change of file format I think this is a good solution right now.

I however think it is good with a discussion of a more general mechanism for via/pin/pad and in particular possibility with a library of these for different package types. Even though there are cases then a more general mechanism is needed I think old style maybe with some modifications could be kept as a short hand notation. A library of vis/pin/pad is especially useful then adding new footprints and then small adjustments are needed.

I also think it would be good if information for via/pin/pad is stored locally with possibility to update. As is today footprints are stored within *.pcb file as element and it should be possible to implement an update functions from library as is now by use of the refdes and footprint value from the schematic although rotation may be a problem. In such case I guess it would be useful with possibility to select which properties to update, in particular it is probably useful to keep position and rotation although position/size of refdes may also be useful to keep.
