No, it's a limitation to staff styles (and to the Score Manager as well, no way to change instruments in mid-measure without kludges). I have submitted a feature request, if you could do the same, it would help a bit.
May I suggest a second staff, carefully superimposed over the real one, possibly with everything hidden except notes? I hate that kludge myself, but I know you are the king of coaxing Finale to do strange things, so you might be okay with it. If you don't care about playback, then of course there are many ways to do it, including a clef as an expression. Since I have set Finale to avoid collisions with articulations, I often force space by putting a blank articulation on a note and moving it left until I get the amount of space I want, say, to allow a clef as an expression. This method of adding space survives a respace, and I am all about the respace, baby.
