Bolty,
Even if you were to adopt that method, usual process is to obtain an NTO, TV or equivalent form the TC/STC holder but that in itself does not allow despatch.
The AMO does what the operator wants - the operator is responsible for ensuring required maintenance is accomplished - within the limits of the rules of the regulations and the limits of their maintenance approval. The operator would have to issue a concession, if approved, or go to the regulator. Unless an operator or contracted AMO is so approved to authorise such despatch, it can't happen.
We can't make decisons to despatch on our judgement alone; aircraft have to remain within the approved configuration (and that includes despatch in accorance with the MEL; you can't fly commercially outside the MEL).
