I couldn't find the answer in the symbol guide.

I made a symbol for an 8-pin soic component that has a thermal pad under
the chip that is recommended to connect to ground.  I don't want to show
the pin on the symbol but want to declare that hidden pin as a GND:1 net
connection.

I've seen it in symbols but can't find how to do it.
