Although I suppose I could design a device with non-overlapping SMD pads
and a blob that joins them in a special layer, plus mods to the Gerber
ULP to include that layer.
That's what the devices in supply-dummy.lbr are for, I believe.

I see no library called supply-dummy.lbr

That is my preferred method. Its dangerous though because you are bypassing
DRC checking. But it gives you the lowest inductance path (which is
important) to connect together various parts of a ground plane.
I've been meaning to do a write up to explain how to do this. So many
things to do....
Cheers,
James.
