    An Off-Page Connector just makes the Net, or Bus / Net Group, "public" to other Pages at the same level in the design, if flat, or hierarchy, for a hierarchical design, there isn't any Type property associated with the Off-Page Connector and any "direction" is purely graphical. If you need to use some different graphics, you can add you own Off-Page Connectors, with associated graphics, to your own libraries.

    You need to open, or create, the "target" Library, then either Design>New Symbol, or select the OLB file entry in the Project Manager pane and right-click>New Symbol, then you get to pick the Symbol type that you want to create, in this case, Off-Page Connector.

    This was a misguided decision by Cadence.  Much of a schematic is 'purely graphical'.  Why place pin names on symbols except to make the schematic readable?  The appearance of the symbol cues the person reading the schematic about the nature of the signal flow, be it input, output or bidirectional.
