They don't need to know it in a general case. This is called a

Hmmm... elements should already know this; they have a bounding box
and they can just count their pins.

Board level:
* copyright and authorship notices
* global state for plug-ins
* DRC rules, post-processing settings, etc.

I put support in for that a while back... August 2006.

You can put attributes at board-level too.
There are a few footprints at gedasymbols.org like

(
Pin[0 0 5300 2000 5900 2400 "" "1" "edge2"]
