You just give a name to the voice of music you want to attach your

If you want to split lyrics when the music splits into several voices,
use separate Voice contexts with separate names and just attach the
lyrics to the corresponding voice. Read in "7.3.6 More stanzas" to see
one example.
Hi, Matt.
I must not quite understand how Voice is intended to work.
Is it possible, then, to have 2 voices, call them A and B, in the same
staff, where voice B only occasionally has separate lyrics and or notes?
I mean, without having a whole lot of rests in B? Like, I'd align parts
of B to marker in A or something. Or am I totally off my rocker?
You are right on the spot. The Voice context in LilyPond is intended to
correspond exactly to the musical concept of a voice. See
the Section on Polyphony in the manual and the example template
for "SATB vocal score", for example.
