This isn't currently possible in lilypond. You're either going to have
to manually move the slur or use some of the other workarounds
offered.

Gould recommends that in general inner slurs be avoided and the inner
ties be in opposite direction to the slur connecting chords. So you
could try that (add a '^' before your '('), but it might not look
quite right in the second voice.
