Supporting this will require loading unpublished menu items into memory for each request and change how Joomla core routing system works, so it will:
From what I see, if this is needed, this should be the job of a third party plugin or the error page of your template. It could catch the 404 error, find the matching unpublished menu item and perform the redirection. It is not something I see that could/should be implemented in Joomla! core.
