There is already a kind of kludge to do this:

* enable "Auto DRC"
* select the "Line"-tool (important, the "Line"-tool has to be activated
first, it normally clears the "found"-flag)
* press <f> on the copper which you want to reach
* draw the line from some other copper to the "found" copper

I hope this helps, perhaps there should be an entry in the FAQ? Or is it a
bug?
