not possible, I think. The hiddenness of the atom on one end of the bond 
makes that bond unviewable.

then you probably have to do it that way.

I don't think it's possible -- hiddenness is a very low-level aspect -- 
bonds aren't hidden, just atoms.
If anything, the bond would have to be "half-hidden", but bonds are 
drawn from atom to atom, not from atom to half-way to the other atom.
Also, hidden means just that -- hidden. If you draw a bond to a hidden 
atom, you effectively unhide it. So I think if you want to do this
what you should do is

display ligand or connected(ligand)
select connected(ligand); spacefill off;wireframe 0.4

or something like that, and you will get your bond.
