Because there's no such thing as a chord with notes of different
duration.

That's not a chord. That's multiple voices, and they're simple to
write in lilypond. Please read the learning manual.
If anybody was interested, they could write a music function which
automatically translates the music into the relevant multiple
voices. The input code would look like this:
\violinChord{ g4 d' b' g'2 }
Once such a function were written by a user, it could be uploaded
to LSR or just sent here for discussion. Once any bugs were
worked out, it could be included in lilypond.
