Ah, I re-read your post and realised I had not answered the question, deleted the post (not quick enough) 
I will leave it, might help someone.
The only way I can see, and it is similar to the new distribute tool which can put layers out-of-sequence,.... is move the desired layer to the top of the stack, do the rotation, move the layer back into correct order.
You can of course, eyeball the center of rotation and click-drag to move
