No, not by dragging the edge, but there is another way.

If you don't have the extent of where you want to extend to, you will have to draw something (or try using snap guides).
Then use the 'add area' option in the pet palette to add the extra area.
This will leave the original nodes as they are.

If you are using the Rotated Rectangle drawing method, there is no need for guides. Just Add Area, click on your two edge nodes then specify offset distance.
