I've seen this notation, but I'm not having much luck producing a workable
example.  It would be done with a hidden voice and an arpeggio modified to
look like a bracket.

Simpler would be a very common notation using tied grace notes to indicate
the quick displacement between the parts of the chord.  Something like this:

\version "2.16.0"

\new Staff {
  \relative c, {
    \clef bass
    \tieDown
    \slashedGrace <a a'>8 ~
    <a a' e' a cis>1
  }
}

Hope this helps.
David
