How to "mirror" child instance cdsTerm() display to parent instance?

Situation:

Let's say if you build wrapper pcell, which containing several same instances of a foundry pcell.
For example: I build a resistor wrapper pcell, to realize series multi-link resistor configuration, since foundry PDK resistor does NOT provide series multi-link option.

Problem:

I figure out to build this pcell thanks the help of @andrew-bectett and , so that I can input w & l on wrapper pcell, the wrapper pcell instance schematic show foundry pcell in correct w & l, and also correct r.
But what I don't know is ...

How can I mirror the foundry resistor's cdsTerm() to the wrapper cell, so that ...
I can see the resistance annotate on the wrapper pcell Symbol, when instanciate this wrapper cell in my schematic, I don't need to descend into the wrapper pcell to check annotation on foundry cell.
The expected user experience is, the wrapper pcell looks just like the foundry resistor cell, by design default, cdsTerm() shows w & l & r, after simulation i & v can be back-anotated.

Many thanks. Regards.

Illustration shown below, which may help to understand the expected behavior.
