That's exactly what our corp TA required us to do back in the era when Saturday night stay requirements were common.

For certain markets we could buy "open ended" tickets. An AAA-BBB-AAA R/T, where the return date was flexible and simply had to be selected within 1 year with a 72-hour advance request. (Pending availability of course, but it booked into a relatively available Y bucket as I recall.) Traveling during the year from BBB (or wherever else), even back to AAA on other tickets on the same airline, was permitted. But I haven't bought one of those since 2000 or so.
