You can not, but one of theese might help:

Neat.

I'd probably not use intconn myself (without back annotation to the
schematic, it would be confusing) - but it is nice to have a way to capture
a simple circuit model of a component on the board.

DJ and I were discussing ideas about supporting netlists between
connectors. Doing so could enable following a circuit between two (or more)
ribbon headers on a board. Still potentially has back annotation issues,
plus it isn't clear where you would attach that information in the design -
but it's an interesting concept.
