I'd wondered for quite some time whether it would be possible to give slur 
beginnings and endings some kind of identifier, so that one could mark the 
beginning of a specific slur in one part, the end of it in another, and have it 
Just Work; something like,

    partI = { c4 d("foo" r2 }

    partII = { r2 e)"foo" }

... but I'd assumed that this kind of thing must have already been considered 
and rejected.  (N.B. the particular notation chosen here is just for 
illustration, not a serious suggestion.)
