We're adding an addition (garage with master suite) and we currently have a couple of drain lines installed on that side of the house but they need to be moved to install the addition. Typically, they don't want to install these on the front of the house becausethe drain lines coming down are ugly but I was thinking that since we're having the entire house sided at the same time it might be possible to install the drain lines in the wall instead to avoid the ugly lines on the outside of the house? Is this an alternative solution I'm not seeing?

Yes you can run them in the wall. Most mini splits installed today have the drains and the high and low pressure refrigerant lines run on the exterior of the home so this is very normal and has been industry standard for decades to run the condensate out an exterior wall or into a drain. I would want to make sure the run was straight and you have the ability to clean it incase green gunkies grow in the line and creates plugs.
