Is it possible to send a message later so that it is sent as if it was sent by the user?

for example, when sending a message from the bot message.channel.send , change the avatar and nickname somehow and send
async function sendMessageAsUser(channel, content, username, avatarURL)
{
const messageOptions =
{
content: content,
username: username,
avatarURL: avatarURL,
flags: MessageFlags.Crossposted
};

const message = await channel.send(messageOptions);
return message;
}
async function sendMessageAsUser(channel, content, username, avatarURL)
{
const messageOptions =
{
content: content,
username: username,
avatarURL: avatarURL,
flags: MessageFlags.Crossposted
};

const message = await channel.send(messageOptions);
return message;
}

I saw such code in the old documentation, but the createMessage method does not work in it
const { MessageFlags } = require('discord.js');

// Example of a function for sending a message on behalf of a user
async function sendMessageAsUser(channel, content, username, avatarURL) {
const messageOptions = {
content: content,
username: username,
avatarURL: avatarURL,
flags: MessageFlags.FLAGS.CROSSPOSTED
};

const message = await channel.createMessage(messageOptions);
return message;
}

// Example of using the function
const channel = yourDiscordClient.channels.cache.get('CHANNEL_ID'); // Replace CHANNEL_ID with Channel ID
const content = 'Hello World!';
const username = 'JohnDoe'; // Desired nickname
const avatarURL = 'URL_AVATAR'; // Avatar URL

sendMessageAsUser(channel, content, username, avatarURL);
const { MessageFlags } = require('discord.js');

async function sendMessageAsUser(channel, content, username, avatarURL) {
