There are a number of grobs that normally have no visual representation. 
 You could attach your content there:

%%%%
\version "2.22.0"

overlayText =
#(define-music-function
  (grob-path text)
  (key-list? markup?)
  (define (print-with-point-outline grob)
   (ly:stencil-outline
    (ly:text-interface::print grob)
    point-stencil))
  (define (proc grob . args)
    (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'font-size -6)
    (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'layer 1000)
    (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'stencil
     print-with-point-outline)
    (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text text))
  #{ \applyOutput $grob-path #proc #})

{
  b'4
  \overlayText Score.PaperColumn
    \markup \general-align #Y #UP "Lorem"
  4
  \overlayText Score.NoteColumn
    \markup \vcenter \whiteout \box "Ipsum"
  2
}
%%%%
