So the original OHMSS could exist as is in the Connery-Moore continuity, whereas the re-edited OHMSS that coconuts suggested, it would serve as the first film of the Dalton/Brosnan continuity.
I like the idea too, because it gives the Dalton/Brosnan Bond to have some sort of history. TWINE and LTK are especially based on that film's character basis, so such re-edit could serve a purpose.

The reason of even thinking about this is because of the obvious fact that Bond's wife is been referenced in LTK and TWINE. And slightly in TND.

Batman Beyond just nailed. Thats exactly what I had in mind for OHMSS. I love the film already, so the re-edit that I suggested is merely a modification for the Dalton/Brosnan Bond, who obviously had a wife that died unexpetedly. Plus, the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang song would be interesting to use, as it sets up Bond's character. And because it was a Bond song that was never used. And because the OHMSS theme should not be included in this version, as I think it would be better if the original retained the OHMSS theme (and variable score), while OHMSS presented this alternative for the very reason of being unique.
So, as Batman Beyond explained, it could be the Connery-Lazenby-Moore continuity, and the Lazenby-Dalton-Brosnan continuity, with two versions of OHMSS in use - one for Connery-Moore (the original version), and one for Dalton-Brosnan (the re-edit I suggest).
But do you all think of it, now?
