Use any version as bower / npm dependency

I have a library package of a library that depends on jQuery and the latest version of my library:

"dependencies": {
    "jquery": "~2"
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

can be used

"dependencies": {
    "jquery": "any"
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

or

"dependencies": {
    "jquery": "*"
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

so it uses whatever version suits other dependencies.

I can't seem to find any documentation about this, is it possible to do the same in npm?

EDIT : Basically I want version ~ 3 or ~ 2 if other dependencies require version 2 due to XSS and DOS vulnerabilities found in my library due to old jQuery.
