Since V3.1, you can do that directly. Select the object and simply
activate local coordinates (or press 'A'), then translate the origin
of the object to where you want it. Then deactivate local coordinates
(press 'A' again) and rotate. Voila, the object rotates not about it's
normal center, but about the point where you translated the local
origin to.
