Pins are for symbols. You could make a top-level symbol, set source= to the top level schematic, and then place that symbol in its own over-the-top schematic. That's good for simulation, too.

Or, you can make component symbols representing pads. That's what I do: see http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/john_doty/symbols/openIP/02-pads.html
