I disagree with this.

The HID is the Human Interaction Device - how the information is
presented to the user.  GUI, printer, etc.

The HID is the wrong place to be assigning *meaning* to the data.
That is still in the core.  The fact that some composites are "vias"
is something intrinsic to the pcb design, independent of what color
you make it on the screen, and independend of how vias are implemented
at the lowest internal levels.
