Slurs in lyrics

[Chris Snyder]

I'm engraving a piece where I'd like to put dotted slurs directly in the
lyrics to instruct the singers to carry the note. I know there are other
ways to indicate this (such as dotted slurs over the notes, which is
what I've settled with currently), but I'd like to put the slurs over
the lyrics if possible.

Does anyone know of a way to do this? My hunch is that there isn't a way
to do it without modifying the code, but I figured I'd check first. Thanks.
