Ties into chords from chords/notes that only share part of the chord 
notes already do exactly what you appear to need. No trickery (hidden 
notes to cross voices etc) is necessary here:

\new Staff <<
    {
        d''1~ |
        d''1~ |
        <a' d''>2 <g' c''> |
    } \\ {
        d'1~ |
        d'1~ |
        d'1 |
    }

If you prefer, you can avoid the '\\' syntax by using
<<
   {
       \voiceOne
       % notes for upper voice
   }
   \new Voice {
       \voiceTwo
       % notes for lower voice
   }
