You could use a third hidden voice:

\version "2.19.3"

transOn = {
  \override NoteColumn.ignore-collision = ##t
  \override NoteHead.no-ledgers = ##t
  \hide NoteHead
  \hide Stem
  \hide Flag
  \hide Beam
  \hide Dots
  \hide Accidental
  \hide TupletBracket
  \hide TupletNumber
}

transOff = {
  \revert NoteColumn.ignore-collision
  \revert NoteHead.no-ledgers
  \revert NoteHead.transparent
  \revert Stem.transparent
  \revert Beam.transparent
  \revert Flag.transparent
  \revert Dots.transparent
  \revert Accidental.transparent
  \revert TupletBracket.transparent
  \revert TupletNumber.transparent
}

\new Staff <<
  \new Voice \relative c'' { \voiceOne c4~ <c d, c> }
  \new Voice \relative c' { \voiceTwo <c d>8 q }
  \new Voice \relative c' { \voiceThree \transOn s8 <c_~ d^~> q }
