Open dated tickets are technically still possible (at least as of last year) but if issued by AA it must be a paper ticket. BA no longer accepts paper tickets issued by other carriers (and are the only OW carrier on LON-PAR). CX can reportedly issue open-dated e-tickets, but I can't find any recent info on the matter.
The online tool, of course, will not issue open-dated tickets.
