Here is how it was explained to me. There are two ways to up your status to D1/2/3T at an international out-station.
First, don't clear the first flight on which you were booked as a non-rev. When you are rolled-over to the next flight, you are upped to "T" status.
Second, connect on a separate ticket and show the boarding pass. The agent will alter your status to "T".
A lot of games being played.

Yes, but that vaguely avoids the question. There is no AA to AA metal connection.

I flew CGK-ICN-DFW last year as a revenue pax. Booked through AA on 001 stock but the CGK-ICN leg was on Korean Air.
This is about AA non-rev travel. An AA non-rev ticket cannot be combined with a ZED ticket on another carrier. Separate PNRs. Has nothing to do with what you can book as a separate PNR as a revenue passenger.
