Would this proposed feature also work for connecting a single pin to multiple pads? For example, could three pin symbols for transistors work with devices that have four pads? It would be nice to support all the relationships:

- one to one
- one to many (3 pin symbol transistor with a 4 pad footprint)
- many to one (pass thru pins)
- many to many

Pass thru pins could make the symbols for parts where the signal passes straight through easier to work with. For example, TVS diode pairs, feed thru capacitors, and transistors used in current mirrors.
