I say, "There is no on-the-fly way to do that in the GUI."  [John folds arms resolutely]

"It's handled like DJ said:"

"treat the exposed pad like any other pin/pad, give it a
pinnumber (make one up) and expose it in the schematic symbol."

Then connect in gschem and output a new netlist, or import from gschem.

And now Stephan comes up with this!

Sounds like what you were wanting.
