Well, it was a hypothethical question, but good point. Let's say it was the key of Eb, but we're on the bridge, and at the bridge's end there's a Bb7 chord back to part 1, which will start on an Eb chord. Between the lines you seem to be saying call it whatever the underlying harmony is.

There are a couple of ways to do this. Some, like Don Sebesky, suggest glissing on the RESOLUTION harmony, rather than the PRE-resolution harmony. He would use an Eb6/9 chord, with pedalling set (in order) D#,Cn,Bb,Eb,Fn,Gn,A#. If you want a Bb7 chord, then you want Dn,Cn,Bb,E#,Fn,G#,Ab.
