Not better, but another possible way:

\version "2.16.0"
\relative c'
{ \clef treble
\time 6/8
\key b \major
ais'4.\p \once \override Slur #'stencil = ##f \appoggiatura {b8[\( ais
gisis ais]} 
<< 
{dis4 b8} 
\new Voice 
{\stemUp 
{ dis8*1/2[ \teeny d cis c} 
\normalsize b8]} 
>>
\oneVoice
ais4 gis8\)
}
