Displaying Additional Component Properties on Silkscreen?

JFuoco

Is there a simple way that I can display manually added properties from a schematic symbol on a footprint? For instance, if I have a 3 position jumper such that has 2 positions, whose properties are  "POS_A" (pins 1-2) and "POS_B" (pins 2-3), can I set up the footprint such that there is silkscreen text that if I fill in POS_A as "VDD" and POS_B as "GND" in the schematic, when I go to place the footprint these texts are attached to the footprint?

I know I could do this manually on a board to board basis but I'm guessing there is a very simple answer I'm missing.
