If my thoughts about this are right, a documented solution with a nice
interface about €100, but I have a bit of a pile-up of things I need to
get done in the next 10 days.  Most of the work required for that has
already been done by Werner IIRC (the framework he made for slurs on
appoggiatura), so you might have success prodding him or forwarding the
essential parts of this exchange to him.

It is really a case of the functionality being 95% there (a good
solution should work for appogiatura in parallel voices even in a
setting allowing cross-voice slurs, which is the remaining 5% more or
less), just needing convenient wrapping and a nice user interface.
Something like
\new Voice "x" { a( s4 }
\new Voice "y" { s4 g\ends "x") }
should be reasonably painless as an interface.
