Electronic – Mark decoupling capacitor

decoupling-capacitorkicadlayout

I'm working on a PCB. As ECAD software I am using KiCAD. All ICs will get two decoupling capacitor. One 100n ceramic and a 10uF electrolytic.
Decoupling capacitor for OP Amp

For now I place them like shown in the picture at each OP Amp or IC.

My questions starts now:
Since all capacitors share the same net, how can I make sure that the reference designator in the schematic later mach up with the physically placed capacitor in the layout. Is there any other way then looking them up in the schematic and then search for the right capacitor in the layout?
Or is best practice to place them and later rename all components with this external tool for Kicad. LINK

One KiCad workflow for this is to to use the Get and Move hotkey in pcbnew (Default 'T'). Type in your reference designation and place the footprint.

KiCad version 5 will also group your initial import by sheet, so if you use hierarchical sheets, the capacitors will be physically close to your op-amp on first import.
