you got me at "extenuating circumstances"

.... extenuating circumstances (details I won't bore people with)
But why .. we love to hear of such circumstances & details here on FT!

I assume that u are traveling on a non OW airline -> MH

In short, yes it can be done. But the reality is that most likely, they will not & instead ask you to collect the bags & re check them at the check in counters.

Simply put, it's extra work for the airline staff at the transit desk & baggage handlers to identify & re-tag the bags so unless it's under special circumstances e.g. flight cancellations, they won't do it.

But please update us after the trip of your experience nonetheless.
