Low Item Level and Sockets

Can you force sockets and links above what their item level indicates? For instance, I was looking to buy a Searing Staff, but noticed that the one I was going to buy was item level 22. Could I simply use the Artisans Workbench to craft it to 6 sockets, and make it 6 linked regardless of its low item level?
With a level 8 vorici u can do it, regardless on the itemlevel.

I did try to socket a item level 4 leather helmet and it did allow me to 4 socket that. Didn't want to burn my fusings to test out the 4 link though lol.
Links have no item level requirement.
So if you have four sockets you will be able to 4 link.

The number of sockets is the only issue here :)

the "Of Complexity" Strongbox Suffix can spawn items with more sockets than their item level normally allows.
one of the fun aspects of Ambush League, was getting those random 5-sockets in Act 2 Normal.
which could potentially be 4-5-linked too, since Links only depend on number of sockets.

Vorici can force any number of sockets regardless of item level.

Source?

1) Buy level 1 gloves (or whatever) at Act1 normal and put it into artisan workbench (to see which options are available)
2)
