The solid connection would do the trick and connect the pad and hole
but I see one problem with this.  Pads are going to remove the solder
mask and unlike a trace the melted paste (solder) will want to follow
the trace (pad) into the hole.

Maybe I should just add the holes as pins onto the schematic symbol so
I can make the connection with traces or lines.  I noticed on my
footprint I'm going to have to modify my pad slightly further away
from the pins in order to get an effective mask between the two.
