Maybe it is useful to make the distinction between a _symbol_, and the
_instance_ of that symbol in your schematic to which you have attached
new attributes.  (I think these are the terms I've heard the gschem
devs use...)

Then you could have a “Save Symbol Instance As...” to create a new
symbol file on disk containing the original symbol with your
modifications applied.
