At this point, no, you can't set a property to identify a polygon as a pin. I have already submitted an enhancement request to allow creating custom shaped pads. I will add your feedback to the request.

I selected a LED (598-8310 107F) using Add Part. The schematic symbol looked rather strange, so I went to the Symbol Editor and loaded it. I found an "*" shown under the Section along with a repeat of the pin number. Anybody know what this means and how to use it (assuming one would wish to use it)?

If you take a look through the manual, you'll find out that the little star "*" next to a part means that it has been edited. You can get rid of that star if you revert back to the original part.
