Well, I could imagine a function taking two arguments:
(1) reading out the structure of the chord in \chordmode {c:7}
(2) a note to build this structure with this note as tonic, taking the
duration from it and setting it in the result.

Apart from the duration, something at the lines of:

\version "2.19.40"
%% doesn't work earlier

chrd = \chordmode { c:7 }

mynote = { cis }

mynote.7 = \transpose c #(car (event-chord-pitches mynote)) \chrd

\chordmode { \mynote.7 }



So why? I don't see any advantage.
