Not sure about the context of your case, but in Unicode there is the letter \u0640 which when put between the letters will act as a stretcher, it can only be used between letters that already connect to each other.

Examples:

مرحبا مــــــرحــــــبــــــــا

As you can see above, it can't stretch between ر and حـ because the letter ر doesn't connect to the letter that comes after it.

In all cases, this is not an issue in the reshaper, so I'd advise you to post such questions on SlackOverflow, or you could just message me directly.

Good luck.
