This works for me (1.4.7):

\score {
    \notes {
        \property Staff.noAutoBeaming = ##t
        \time 6/8
        \property Voice.Slur \override #'dashed = #1
        \relative c'' { d4. e f8( )f e f4. }
    }
}

Vary the parameter #1 to get different effects.

The info documentation says Slur supports #'dash-length and #'dash-period
but these had no effect for me; YMMV.

Question: why doesn't Tie also support #'dashed? (Try using a ~ instead of
a slur.)
