Extensions to override order option

Does somebody know if there's an extension available for my issue?

In my shop ordering is only possible when a product is available.
I like to change this but not for all products, otherwise this question was never posted here :)

So for some products I would give the customer the option to order, even if it's not available.
But there should be a message that the item has a delivery time.

Thanks in advance.
OC 3.0.3.3

Perhaps a beter explanation is:

I need 2 options for each product. The first one out of stock, so people can't order. And the second one with the possibility to order with a notification of the delivery time

This could simply be done from the cart page where each associated product options need to be quoted, it could provide the delivery date from a shipping extension.

A warming about a longer delivery time only at the cart page will disappoint customers.
It should be clear as fast as possible.
So with a label on the category page, of at least on the product page.

I've seen an extension offering this solution some years ago, however can't find it anymore.

You could build an extension module showing the announcement by using the layout routes from the OC admin. Alternatively, you could show that announcement from the information page whereas the information loads everywhere from your store, including the categories page.

The solution "You could build an extension module showing the announcement by using the layout routes from the OC admin.", sounds good.
Thank you, will invest time to make it work.
