you don't even have to use a tie.

that is what a slur is for.

notes that have no slurs mean they are "tongued" (attacked)

so if you use a slur, technically, the second note should not be attacked.

You could help by adding an appogiatura before the trill as well. If it's a really long note, you might even insist on the "slowness" of the start of the trill by slurring together your first note, then two 8ths notes, then a triplet, THEN your trilled held note.

Don't be afraid to actually WRITE what you want played.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
