📝 Original message:Earlier last year on March, there was a post here by Jeremy Rubin that explains how a person could delegate its UTXO to some script, by (AFAICT) creating a new transaction using that UTXO, with whatever script you want it to have.

It was written in terms of normal transactions, but can be extended to message signing transactions too.

Only the beginning of the post is relevant here.
