Well, not that I know of.  But having a grid display of row-organized data
that captures "interesting stuff" about instances is gattrib-ish. So I was
just imagining a  gschem "symbol" that behaved similarly to the gattrib
tool.  Editing attributes and editing infrastructure pin assignments seemed
like a similar workflow.

FWIW, I think that with someone with scheme fu can hack up a backend for
gnetlist to put all the "gattrib cells" into another nice gschem schematic
file (.sch) to make the attributes in the schematic visible and printable
(just for QA and checking purposes: nothing beats a green highlighter
scoring off the correct values, just before running to pcb and throwing lots
of traces on some poor FR4).

Bonus points: maybe even mark hidden attributes in an italic font or
something.

My EUR 0.02

Kind regards,
