Yes, you use the command:

Command: LilyPond Definition
Create a definition at the head of the LilyPond output. This can then
be referenced in the music. See LilyPond documentation.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Score
Internal Name: LilyPondDefinition

to define the two variables glissandoSkipOn/Off
then in the music use 

Command: Insert Lilypond
Insert or edit a directive in the LilyPond music typesetting language.
This can be used for extra spacing, transposing or almost anything. See
LilyPond documentation for ideas.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Directives
Internal Name: InsertStandaloneDirective

to insert \glissandoSkipOn/Off as needed. You can create buttons or
menu commands to invoke these as usual.
