If you mean adding a slot in a footprint:

geda/pcb has a limited element model that supports only a few features in=

footprints. It will not let you save outline layer objects in a footprint.

If you want a footprint model that supports any object on any layer, I=20
recommend switching to pcb-rnd. We have a footprint model that does not=20

footprint, including lines on the outline layer. Plus anything you draw=20
can be turned into a terminal ("pin").

As a bonus you can have thermal on "smd pads" without having to draw and=20
maintain tinly lines manually:
