You can accomplish this by using an entity that expands to nothing.  The
closest entry in org-entities is \zwj (zero width word-joining space):

foo\zwj{}/bar/\zwj{}baz

I have an entry like the following defined in org-entities-user for this
purpose:

("nothing" "" nil "" "" "" "")

It might be worth considering adding to org-entities, but I’ve never
proposed it as it looks like an ugly hack to me.
