Yes, as long as the notes are in one voice. A voice may change between
staves using the \change Staff command, which you will find documented.
For a snaky-shaped slur you may want to have a look at
<https://github.com/openlilylib/openlilylib/tree/master/notation-snippets/shaping-bezier-curves>,
namely the \shapeII function.

HTH, Simon

You beat me to it, Simon ;-)

Pete, here's an example of using \change Staff:

music = { c8[ ( e g \change Staff = "top" c' e' g'] ) }

\new Staff = "top" {

\clef treble

\time 6/8

s1.

}

\new Staff = "bottom" {

\clef bass

\time 6/8

\music

}
