Thanks! I'd actually just found this myself.

It sounds like you are looking for
Command: Add a Separate Line for Dynamics
This line ("staff") is for holding cresc. dim hairpins and dynamic
markings so that they can be positioned (using dummy notes, colored
blue) and will align with each other.\nCreate this between the staffs
for a piano work or on any staff where alignment of hairpins and
dynamic marks is needed.
WARNING: Do not start/end staff-groupings on this staff. Do not place
clef changes or other non-duration items in this staff - it may trigger
the creation of a separate staff on typesetting!
This Dynamics "staff" must have the same part name as the staff the
dynamics should appear on.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Staffs/Voices ▶ Add Staff
Internal Name: DynamicsStaff

It looks like it might be possible to insert
Lilypond commands to do it (some complicated combimnation of \after?)
but that would be quite fiddly.
