I have tried to make a dummy award booking for TPE-HKG one-way. And UA allows me to book this:

Flight: BR2897
Operated by Hamburg Airlines Luftfahrtgesellschaft.
Aircraft: Airbus A330-200
Meal: Snack or Brunch
No Special Meal Offered.
See On-Time Performance

I checked with HKG's flight schedule. That was a BR codeshare flight operated by Hong Kong Airlines (HX).

I am not sure. But are we allowed to book on non-UA and non-*A partnered award flights?
