Somewhere in the interview they mention the use of spreadsheets to 
manipulate symbols in a schematic. I guess, this is, what inspired 
gattrib. However, to be really useful during schematic capture, the 
spreadsheet needs to communicate more directly with the primary GUI. It 
needs to be called from the GUI on selected parts only. And it must 
prevent conflicts between the data in the spreadsheet and the data shown 
in the schematic GUI. From the user point of view, it should be part of 
the GUI just like the edit object dialog is. In a sense, it is and should 
feel like a multi symbol attribute dialog.

Are there plans to push gattrib toward this direction?
