Sure. This is what every EDA suite I had the chance to have a look at, 
does it. After all, the schematic provides an intuitive view on the 
project. It's time the geda suite joins the crowd and aids the user with 
the decision for a footprint.

But wait --- This would put pcb a an advantage compared to other layout 
tools in gschem. A major infringement of the no-preferred-work-flow 
dogma! A deviation of the right way!
