I can imagine attribs at the gschem level and a bom with attribs containing all that. The database engine we attach to gschem could operate on it one part at a time GUI style, also gattrib could, also a BOM-centric database view could change both at once. The BOM-centric database view I am imagining could be an offshoot of the GUI part placer symbol-heavying tool -- but operating on multiple parts at once.. that would replace gattrib's function.
