You certainly could use a torque wrench to loosen bolts, it is not the best idea. Torque wrenches are precision measuring instruments, using them to loosen bolts is not in line with that purpose. You end up stressing the tool when it is used as a breaker bar, and you often need excessive force to loosen bolts.
