Your example of how you see a via work perfectly well. To write which
layers are connected I also think should work perfectly well.

I however still say the drilled holes end up on at least board layers as
cut outs so in sort of they are part of the board shape, this is however
not important because it will not change how the objects are defined in
your example.
