We have a full score for an ensemble of several instruments that

I have started to look at defining a custom context for a hidden
staff that holds the brackets, but I am lost at this point.
I feel sure this must be a common design pattern, which I can not
yet discern.
See attached sample image.

I often will create another voice for structure, using spacer rests to
align things, and put it in a variable that is reused in the full
score and each part. This voice is placed in parallel with the other
main voice of the first Staff. Or, you can put the same voice but in a
separate, dedicated Dynamics context above the first staff. Either one
of those should do what you need.

Normally I'd use a Devnull (context) for common parallel common stuff
(including rehearsal marks, time signatures, tempo markings etc.). So I
would say that this is the common design pattern.
But as I understand it you are using modified textspanners for the
annotations, so this will not work in your case. To change the basic
structure as little as possible I would then use a Dynamics (context)
instead of the Devnull context.
(Just a personal testimony from a user.)
