At my tabletop circle (and earlier in CoH), we had a rule we indelicately called the "Cool Shit Clause." It's basically what you just said.
I believe the actual formulation we used was something like, "If all players involved think the effect is cool, doesn't offer a game or story advantage, and plausibly works with what you've already shown you can do, you can do it (for free, if there's normally an associated cost)."
