XF 2.3 Is it possible to replace a thread with a link

[Yoshiro]

Use case: I have threads that I keep updated with rules or other information. Instead of having copies or an embedded link inside of another thread/post, I feel it would be useful to be able to have a thread/post that itself serves as the link to the content (either internal forum link or external in some cases).

If this would require a mod, does anyone know of one?

You can move the thread to a hidden node and leave a permanent redirect. The link in the forums stays the same but the thread can be edited at any time. You can lock the thread to prevent replies.
A Page Node may be a better option to show site rules and other information.
