This mechanism is already present in the ConTeXt: use |_| like 
"bude|_|li". Unfortunately, AFAIK there are two drawbacks:

1) From some time the hyphen started to be defined
   \def\compoundhyphen{\hbox{-\kern-.25ex-}}
but for Czech is better:
   \def\compoundhyphen{-}
I intend to incorporated it to Czech support. (cont-cz.tex ?)

2) This kind of |.| does not operate inside with XML processing.
Here is minimal example sent last week:

-----
\defineXMLentity[hyphen]{|_|}
\starttext
   dojde|_|li
   \startXMLdata
     dojde‐li
   \stopXMLdata
\stoptext
------
