There is now the ability of adding the Known Traveler ID in AA's equivalent of Manage My Booking without having a profile. I only noticed it fairly recently, about 6 months ago. I get Pre Check all the time now, I am Global Entry, but I'm not a US citizen nor do I have an AA.com profile. No Global Entry on BA flights however since BA is not a participating airline.
So on the USA AA.com - My Trips / Continue without logging in / enter locator / Passenger Summary / Add - Edit Passenger Information / Secure Flight Information / Known Traveler ID, which is typically an 8 digit number.
There's a more overt tab for this on US Airways' equivalent to MMB.
