You need to be very careful doing this, components are often made as thin and light as possible, so drilling holes in them, needs engineering. When it was done by someone like Colnago, it's most likely the design engineer at Campagnolo knew about it, and told them where they could drill without damaging the part. I doubt Tullio ever cared, once the cheque was cashed.
