That looks good, and it is totally nonstandard.  It was too 
difficult for
engravers, so they didn't do it.  I suggested it about two years 
ago.  A tie
could also break behind the stem(s).

I still think that it would be better if the tied notes were on 
different stems
than the slurred ones on the 4th beat.  It would be considerably 
clearer.
