Hmmm... I am familiar with creating parts, I have created every part on
the board. But I don't see how that can help with this problem. If I
am creating a part, I can use PADs and HOLEs, I don't think VIAs are
even available in parts. But even if they were, how would a VIA or PAD
inside a part be any different in terms of the solder mask? There would
still be the outline in the STOP layer. As far as I can tell, there is
no way to edit the tSTOP layer on a part.
