You can do this manually, by using melismata or similar:
<<
\context Voice=A \notes { c8\melisma c\melismaEnd }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A \lyrics { Hello }
>>
would replace
<<
\context Voice=A \notes { c8 c }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A \lyrics { Hel -- lo }
>>
I beleive that the following has the same effect & might be more handy:
<<
\context Voice=A \notes { c8 c }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A \lyrics { Hello \skip 4 }
>>
