If I understand your question right, you can use Modify - Stretch and then specify first and second corner as the same, the point you want to move, the reference point also the same, but maybe a different one, all by snap, and then the target point by command line.

Thanks for the reply. You're right. I am able to do it using stretch, with any reference point and a @x,y relative coordinate. (the first and second points part seem kind of unnecessary for this intent but it does the trick if I define a rectangle with both that encloses the moving point).

What I was really searching for, though, was the same thing that can be acomplished in this video https://youtu.be/7PrUwMTBNzU?t=1m55s where an input text box exists that allows the user to input the target coordinate instead of selecting the target with the mouse, which would require a snap point.
