Or, perhaps, by having a note object contain a list of (zero or more) pitch objects rather than just one pitch value. A note object with a duration and no pitch objects would, of course, be a rest.
The problem with this is that the duration would be the same for all notes within the object
That's a standard rule of music. You can't put black and white notes on the same stem for instance.
However you can have stems up and down at the same point so a stem direction (or "part number") field would be appropriate for the chord object. [better term than "note object"]
