You could cheat by having a new (phrasing) slur connecting the chords 
between the voltas, playing around with dash-definition or reshaping the 
curve to get the desired effect:

%%%%
\fixed c'' {
 \key g \major \time 3/4
 \repeat volta 2 { <c f a>4.\( <d f bes> }
 \alternative {
   { <d fis? c'>2.\)
     -\tweak dash-definition #'((0.6 1 1 1 )) ^\( }
   { <d fis? c'>2.\) }
 }
}

\fixed c'' {
 \key g \major \time 3/4
 \repeat volta 2 { <c f a>4.\( <d f bes> }
 \alternative {
   { <d fis? c'>2.\)
     -\shape #'((6 . 0.5) (5 . -0.5) (2 . -1) (0 . 0)) ^\( }
   { <d fis? c'>2.\) }
 }
}
%%%%
