Exactly. A schematic is used to document and describe your
circuit, an
despite this zero ohm resistor has nothing to do with the
principal
function of the circuit, it has a fundamental function at this
board.
So you have to show it in the schematic, but of course, with a
comment.

Not if you mention the following:
For creating the board, you will need this jumper as a real
material
device. So for planning your materials, it should be noticed at
the
BOM, which can easily done by software, if this device is
mentioned at
the schematic.
Also a jumper can be a nice place for measuring or injecting
signals
for trobleschooting. Another reason to show it at the schematic.
Maybe even for orientating at schematic/board. Jumpers can be good
landmarks.
There are other types of jumpers, which are not made as zero ohm
resistors for crossing, but by sockets and short circuit plugs or
with
(special) solder pads and solder blobs. Of course, also by pads
and
zero ohm resistors.
This Type of jumpers are by function at reality switches, and so,
they
should be shown at the schematic as switches.
