You can't.

If it makes things harder to read, then my idea won't fly. I thought
that since ‘ and ’ look so very similar to ` and ', the effect on
readability of code will be negligible.
If this idea is a non-starter, and we want to do this only in comments
and strings, I guess the only reasonable alternative is to do it as
part of font-lock? Which means people who turn off font-lock will not
be able to have the feature.
Or maybe we could introduce a 'display-table' text property, which
would then make it possible to do this only for some parts of the
buffer text.
