Why can't you just add the dummy atoms to the topology file? You could
actually do this with ParmEd. Add some ions where you want your dummy
atoms, then use xparmed.py to remove the charge, the van der waals terms,
and create whatever bonds you want between the system and the dummy atom
with whatever force constant you want. You can also change the mass and
atom name/type, as well. The GUI xparmed.py interface as well as the
manual should provide all the help you need to get started.
