You can always write something like

%%%
\version "2.20.0"
\relative c {
  \time 3/4
  \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn
  <<{<g'' c f>4\arpeggio e' d}\\{ g,8._\tweak extra-offset #'(0.5 . 3)  -> 
dis16 a2}>>|
}

but frankly, it quite evades me why you would consider this desirable
over the default output.
