Yes, that sort of works. However, there is no way to have Lilypond to
use volta brackets with a downstroke at the right side in this case,
which makes it look a bit weird. I was in contact with Han-Wen to get
this done as a sponsored feature, but he didn't want to do it until
the base code for all kinds of horizontal brackets had been cleaned
up, so I guess we'll just have to wait.
