DJ,
I have seen this done on production schematics.  However, I am not sure 
they were "intelligent", just documentation.
Does this separate symbol method replace the net=GND:n and net=+5V:n 
etc. symbol attributes or are they still needed in the symbol?
The two methods sound redundant.  Using the symbol attributes 
"hardwires" the net name, but the separate power and ground symbols 
allow netnames other than what otherwise would be specified in the 
symbol.  I like that versatility.
