Not sure I would consider this a "workaround" -- it's how you do this. 
As your example shows, this is not likely to be something that can be 
simply automated -- the left double quotes are larger than they should 
be for the text size (see the right double quotes at the end).
I didn't find that making a hanging indent of a few points was so 
difficult, and it would need to be customized for various fonts and font 
sizes anyway.

A bit more explanation of what you want here would help. Edit > 
Paragraph Styles doesn't work? You can set a keyboard shortcut if you 
wish...
