Creating symbols for plug-in modules with multiple BOM parts (anything new for 6.x)?

Does KiCad 6 have a solution for this:

Creating symbols for plug-in modules with multiple BOM parts

I wanted to share a hack I’ve been using for associating multiple BOM line items with a single “symbol” in the schematic. This method has been discussed previously (Making multiple BOM items for one schematic component), but what’s unique about this approach is that it uses multiple symbols to create the illusion of a single symbol in the schematic (apologies if this has been posted before, I did not see it) Eample scenario: The Adafruit Feather plug-in modules require two separate mating hea…

We have a fuse in our design that requires two board mounted clips + 1 fuse in the BOM.

We could add three different parts to the schematic, but checking if there is a better way with 6.x

There’s no explicit way to do that, but you can for example add custom fields to symbols, “MPN1”, “MPN2” etc. and write a python BOM plugin which handles those and adds lines to the BOM.

so nice but you can for example add custom fields to symbols
