Hold the heavy machinery :-). You can just set the positions directly:

\version "2.23.4"

x = { r2 \tuplet 3/2 { g4 a b } }

\addQuote "qx" \x

{
  r2 \cueDuring #"qx" #DOWN {
    \override CueVoice.TupletBracket.positions = #'(-2 . -1)
    \override CueVoice.TupletBracket.direction = #UP
    r2
  }
}

For a general solution, one could probably write a callback for the 
positions property. How difficult this is probably depends on the use 
case: Werner, how similar are the instances in your score? Can we assume 
a monotonous sequence of pitches? May we assume that the bracket should 
always be above?
