That is what a slash chord does: it is usually a triad or tetrad with a bass
note being specified, such as G/A being a G triad (G B D) over an A bass note.
The slash chord is the standard form for this in jazz, rock, folk, etc. What
you are saying you want to do will be confusing to people used to the standard
nomenclature, just as a cautionary point. If you're going to be sharing these
charts with other musicians, you might be better off sticking with the standard
format for these types of chords.
