I found away to minimize a pin via editing the symbol file...not sure if there is a way
using the GUI to do it.   I changed a likely flag, and visibility of the pin reduced
to the red dot on its end.  You could get everything else the way you want it, then run a script
to modify your symbols, since the substrate connection is the one to make invisible.
A text processing script could just match on substrate, then modify that line in every symbol.
