The name padstack have already been used before by commercial company. In case this is a problem it could be better to define a pin object which is an electrical connection point.

I guess a footprint and pin essentialy could be the same type of object although a footprint usually have several pin objects.

It would probably be enouhg to add possibility to group objects as pins so they could be found and manipulated. Grouping may be achieved both with attached attribute or put into separate sections for each pin.

"refdes.footprint.pin" ?
