Maybe something like this:

Create an Atrribute (Update_Title, Category = Update), then Insert it in the IA Pane for the Template of the Items you wish to re-Title. Leave the value for (Update_Title) blank.

Create the desired Title Expression for the Template and add this statement to the end:

|| trim(coalesce([Update_Title], ''))

Search on the Template and select records, goto the (Update_Title) attribute and add the space character, the selected Items will be re-Titled.

If at some point you want to re-Title again, repeat the above but remove the space character (or add another, they'll be "trimmed" out).

EDIT: I wonder if it would be worthwhile to include this when creating new Templates, or should re-Title come from within UR, or is this need just for the intial transition to the new capabilties?
