Of course you can enter these in a structural Voice and add these either
to the top staff of the score or even to each staff (using polyphony).

But the better approach is using the edition-engraver
(https://github.com/openlilylib/edition-engraver) for the rehearsal
marks and probably the page-layout package
(https://github.com/openlilylib/page-layout) that wraps around the
edition-engraver.
This allows you to define independent named break-sets and apply them
with a single command (e.g. to define alternative page layouts
representing different manuscripts or target media).

Unfortunately this is still pretty undocumented :-(
