Maybe you can explain your use case a bit.
Think about this:
You can easily create a little document with the fingerprint of the key
you want to sign, timestamp, maybe other notions and sign that. Then you
can publish this document. In fact the signature on a key is very
similar to such a document. Just that it has a machine readable
structure.
