I want to use functionality of an existing trait and create my own trait on top of it only to later apply it on classes.

Yes, there is. You just have to define new trait like this:

trait MySoftDeletes 
{
    use SoftDeletes {
        SoftDeletes::saveWithHistory as parentSaveWithHistory;
    }

    public function saveWithHistory() {
        $this->parentSaveWithHistory();

        //your implementation
    }
}
