That's what my abstract-symbols fork does: remembers that they belong together.

I'm busy merging that stuff into my more recent master-shadow.  I
haven't touched it since winter so there'll be a lot of conflicts to
resolve, which will keep me busy for a while.

Not on my fork: you can have one power pair symbol that you use for
all parts that have such a pair of power pins.

I'll try and hack up a nicer example than just the static flipflop I
already have.  If you're willing to build the fork from source and are
interested, let me know.
