I don't see how moving something out of trash is different to moving it
in this regard.
On GNU systems, the only relevant mechanism is the freedesktop trash
spec that move-file-to-trash implements. It looks like it would be
straightforward for someone who wanted to to write a
move-file-from-trash that restores files according to the trashinfo
file, and this could be hooked into dired.
