Ossias in percussion voice

In general, the answer is no, but if you search around the forum you’ll find some examples where users suggest modifying an existing instrument definition or defining a whole new instrument using a single staff line. E.g. look here:

Add a single-line staff

I’ve hacked my instruments.xml file in order to have a 1-line non-percussion staff. In Setup, add a concert pitch single staff instrument, duplicate it, then add the 1-line non-percussion staff and move it so it’s between the staves. (That’s if you need the bottom image at the link you posted, otherwise a normal 1-line percussion staff is fine.) Bracket the 3 staves. Create a layout for the 3 staves together and you should be able to do it. [Knock]
