There was an exploit in eve sort of like this. What you did was start warping toward a planet on the far side of the solar system and then kill the application as you got close to it.

The effect was to allow you to sling shot past the destination at warp speed, and if you logged back in at teh right time (seconds later) you could setup a waypoint far outside the outermost celestial body.

(Normally you can only warp to planets and moons, etc... you can't just pick an arbitrary direction and engage warp).
