How do you edit a specific message without it's interaction?

I'm using a button below a embed and I'm trying to edit the embed above the button when the button is clicked. Is there a way to do that?

const existingMessage = interaction.message;
        if (existingMessage) {
            // If there's an existing reply, edit it with the updated content
            // Doesn't work since the interaction is currently the button
            await interaction.editReply({ embeds: [memberEmbed], components: [buttonRow]});
        } else {
            // If there's no existing reply, send a new reply
            await interaction.reply({ embeds: [memberEmbed], components: [buttonRow]});
            // Works since the interaction is currently the message
            await interaction.editReply({ embeds: [memberEmbed], components: [buttonRow]});
        }

const existingMessage = interaction.message;
        if (existingMessage) {
            // If there's an existing reply, edit it with the updated content
            // Doesn't work since the interaction is currently the button
            await interaction.editReply({ embeds: [memberEmbed], components: [buttonRow]});
        } else {
            // If there's no existing reply, send a new reply
            await interaction.reply({ embeds: [memberEmbed], components: [buttonRow]});
            // Works since the interaction is currently the message
            await interaction.editReply({ embeds: [memberEmbed], components: [buttonRow]});
        }

if you'd like to respond to the button interaction by editing the button's message, consider using <ButtonInteraction>.update()
