Yes, but that'd feel like more of a hack.

Well, the special pad (which I'd simply use the largest of the connected
netclasses' width for) would be allowed to coincide with other pads and
vias, modify zone fill around itself and even relax DRC rules, so this
would be a *very* special component, so I'm not sure piggybacking it off
component placement is going to do us any favours here.
