I don't think it's possible with individual stocks (i never thought of it anyway), but mutual funds (aka unit trusts) of the same fundhouse (e.g. Blackrock or Fidelity) can be switched between each other directly. At least︀ that's how it looks like at customer side, I wouldn't be surprised if "behind the︁ curtains" one fund is sold and another is purchased, you are just presented with the︂ end result, and i also would not be surprised if those hidden sale proceeds could︃ actually fall under CRS scope. I know for sure, that even when you have mutual︄ fund with reinvested dividends (i.e. you never actually receive dividends on your account, they are︅ automatically reinvested back into the fund), those "invisible" dividends still fall under CRS and will︆ be reported as your income.
