This is common notation in keyboard music, although we don't call them "double stop"; it's just harmony. When notating something like this, you write the music out as different voices, with the caveat that up-stem and down-stem notes help clarify which voice is which.
Consider the following example: the up-stem pitches are one voice and the down-stem half notes are a separate voice. This notation clearly allows us to separate which pitches belong to which melodic line.
But it becomes more difficult when there are intervals of a second involved; we have to off-set one of the notes to distinguish the noteheads. (See also What does it mean when two notes are stuck together?)
Contrast this with the abyssmal notation shown here that doesn't clarify stem direction or the interval of a second; yikes!
Lastly, when you have more than two voices, we combine the different stem directions with some slight horizontal spacing to distinguish the voices from each other. In the following example, note that the middle voice is slightly pushed to the right to prevent it from colliding with other noteheads and stems.
