Say that you got a nice edit in the edit review queue, however the question is closed and won't be opened over that edit.

If I accept it, the question will go to reopen queue for no reason at all- it won't be reopened over that edit.

If I reject it, the user that spent time editing will lose their effort.

I'll use thisthis as a context even though it conflicts with author intent. Think of it as an edit that would be nice on a non-closed question.

Should I post a for Accept but don't send to reopen queue button (maybe a popup asking if you want it to be sent to reopen queue if you accept the edit on closed questions)?

Should I accept an edit on a closed question if it won't help it to be reopened?
