FWIW, I did schematic symbol caching [1] a few months ago that
works similar to what you've suggested before. No complicated gui,
just some settings in gschemrc. It works by putting symbol files
into the directory specified by the user on schematic file
saving. There are probably some glitches there, but it works for
me.

BTW, there are other interesting things in the repo I found time
to put there, some of them aren't documented in README, though
there is the directory with examples.
