Another option would be to leave it until pin mapping is done and do the pin mapping then transferring to pcb. In such case reverse lookup in a database of "real" components would be needed. Power block would make it more complicated and it is does not really sole it anyway because no matter how it is done to be really useful it must be simple to use in pcb.

I there are problem at the schematic end, how about starting with the simplest most common, pin swapping of resistors and capacitors in pcb? Swap pins manually? Or let update rat nest swap them then needed?
