I have never had the need to use legatos...
But apparently it is a common tool for musicians.

A legato is not polyphonic, but it is melodic.
Ardour has Legato in the midi editor. If he encounters polyphony (different notes starting at the exact same time), he eliminates arbitrary overlapping notes. It is an option but others could be found.
I point out Ardour as an example, but what we're talking about is Qtractor :-).

I think the implementation you propose is correct, but it is missing steps.

The way I see it:

1) I select the melodic line on which to apply legato
2) Qtractor remembers their tonal position.
3) Qtractor transposes them to the same note.
4) Qtractor applies the solution you have already created
5) Qtractor returns notes to their original tonal position.

And so, now we would only have a legato.
