Maybe a checkbox to "show parasitic components".



Exactly! Allow idealized networks, but also insert reasonably sized/modeled parasitics to be inserted so you can see why your beautiful plan isn't really.

That's not just capacitances! At speed the resistance of a long trace or the inductance to a neighbor are big deals. Meanwhile the internal PCB planes of Power/Gnd are necessary low impedance bypass that no packaged cap could provide.
