[Inkscape-user] editing freehand

I often draw a wiggly line, then realize that it's not quite right, and I'd like to redraw part of it. Ideally, I'd mark a part of it to be replaced, and then free-hand draw another pieve of wiggly line to replace it.

Now the only way I've found to edit an existing line is by adding and removing control points and turning the tangents -- far too cumbersome for what I'd like to do.

Is there any way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? To edit a portion of a line freehand?
