You'd think so, but I staked my claim years ago:

commit e6895cdbcf30f3683a8c1b1c50dbb1b154ca6bdb
Author: David Kastrup <dak@gnu.org>

    Issue 4537/1: Let \addlyrics accept an optional context mod
    
    Since \addlyrics always creates a new Lyrics context, there seems to be
    little point in not allowing it to have a \with clause.
    
    This change allows the use of the syntax
    
        \new Voice {...} \addlyrics \with ... {...}
    
    in order to achieve the effect of what previously required
    
       << \new Voice = "name" {...}
          \new Lyrics \with ... \lyricsto "name" {...}
       >>

Incidentally, the commit message also mentions how to do this in a more
roundabout way.
