Technically yes, you can do it but, in my experience, it doesn't sound that good.
If you do try it, make sure it's a preamp output you're trying.
Awesome, thanks.

Lol. It wouldn't be home recording if something simple wasn't made into something cumbersome and difficult.
I'm still curious if you can plug a guitar preamp into an interface and then bypass the preamp in a sim but use the cab in a sim. Might be a dumb question, but I'm curious.
This guy does just that Michael Wagener.com (Dokken, Metallica, Skid Row, Janet Jackson, etc...) He has a huge bunch of amps (including the ones used on classic albums like Master of Puppets) and cabinets and mics in a big nice studio.No worries. I'm wondering if anyone here might offer reamping as a service?
Actually, I've often wondered if there'd be money in that, since the amp sim struggle is such a big thing these days.
Maybe someone will send you a PM...Throwing it out there.
Since you're looking for all the odd ways to get from A to B......you could try a cab emulation pedal, like the H&K Red Box.
Excellent for what it does. You can do a 412 or a 212 with it.
At least that way everything happens before the interface, and you can eliminate the sim plug altogether.

The infamous red knob Fenders.
"Can't get feedback when re amping"
Hmm, bet it is possible, going to put electronics brain on it!

I've thought about doing that. It's not worth the hassle of dealing with tone-deaf guitar players.
You know what my biggest hurdle was when doing this for people? Sims. People that use sims and then want real tone don't understand or can't accept the fundamental differences between a flat sim tone and the sound of a speaker moving air. The biggest complaint? It's too big. Wait, what? The sound is too big. Too chunky. Too everything. They got so used to the flat two-dimensional compressed sound of a sim that they didn't want anything to do with the multi-dimensional roar of a real speaker. Fine with me. I do not want to deal with people like that anyway.Yeah...it sounds like a nice idea, but then you'll end up going back-n-forth with the people about what they want VS what you think is a good tone, etc.

Charge them more money to make it sound smaller....sorta like how decaf coffee costs more.
There certainly are some opportunities for online/electronic audio/music services, especially with the boom we have of inept home rec guys (all present HR membership excluded )...but I think unless you have some clear rules, like they get 2 chances to request changes and you want the payment up-front, and that any additional changes will cost more, etc...
...it's almost guaranteed to be a PITA.
It's not like you and the client in the studio, hearing the same thing, on the same system...and there's no way to hide from or ignore the reality...but then, running a small commercial brick-n-mortar studio can be as much a PITA too.
