Feature request: placing symbols without a part assigned

[alex-fu27]

I am mostly using Horizon as a hobbyist, so drawing a schematic might take me a couple of months if I am busy otherwise. This means that if I select exact parts and create them in the pool, they might be out of stock when I am finished with the schematic.

A workflow that I would like to have is:

1. draw a schematic and create symbols as necessary
2. look for the parts I want to use online
3. assign the parts to the symbols
4. create the board

There is already context menu > Schematic > Clear part, so symbols without parts can definitely exist in the schematic, and Place symbol, which I feel has a misleading name: It is for parts that have multiple gates.

So the only thing that would be missing is allowing the user to select a symbol in the Part Browser.

I think what you're looking for is "place component", shortcut "p c".
