This traditional method using the "generic" boot code in the MBR to call

You can indeed chainload the bootloaders.

But this kind of setup is nothing that we should help setting up, it's
getting way to complicated.

As far as YaST is concerned, grub is installed on a partition and it is not
to write anything in MBR. It doesn't need be concerned that there is
another grub on another partition, not his business.
