I'd do it by entering the triple-stop chord as half notes, change the noteheads with the Note Shape tool in the Special Tools pallette, and enter a hidden second half note E.
On the other hand, I wouldn't use this notation at all. I'd enter an ordinary whole note, and the two lower notes of the triple stop as quarter notes in a different layer.
