the "shorting" is done in the schematic.  the multiple connections required to 
be complete is done by the footprint being associated with the symbol, so the 
symbol needs two pins with numbers different.


No way to doit with just one.   You CAN make it invisible though.  It may as 
well be done as a "heavy" symbol, and add it by copying a usual pin, getting all 
thenumbers and names right, then making all those invisible, and you keeping 
track of those invisible things in your symbols.

Instead of modifying symbols, you can use djboxsym to create generic ones, then 
just change the visibility of that pin.   You need two pins on the symbol too, 
just one or both are invisible.
