Excuse me for tooting my own horn here, but has anyone tried my slotting patch [1]? It allows you to place generic symbols and then later specialize them by *linking* (not replacing!) them to a "heavy" part symbol that contains all the interesting attributes. There's also a mechanism to ensure that slots are compatible with the symbols you put into them - basically just a check that any attributes that exist in both the light and the heavy part, match. I'll have to work on the "slot chooser" dialog to teach it to query the component library for candidate "heavy" symbols that have compatible slots, instead of looking only at components that are already on the schematic.
