Is it possible to give moderators the ability to edit timestamps in order to “unbump” topics?

Usecase:

I’m editing the “this topic was closed”-post of an old topic to add a link to a more recent topic (so people who find the old topic through the search function know where to go) but don’t want the old topic to get bumped.  
This happens quite a lot and I can’t always ask an admin to jump in. Usually I just end up not editing the post and hope people find a recent topic by themselves.
