To be sure you have a way to add changes far in the future and still have the same starting point that created the gerbers for a launched product. But having the symbols used in a design in a project directory (a copy of the library symbol) is a fine, open, flexible way to do things. So to talk about that way, all the "required design information" references are in the schematic (projectname.sch), and the rest is in a relative project directory such as projectname.sch/project. Should we make a default project directory and document it in the tutorials? That's what I think John D. is suggesting.
