I think I may be misunderstanding the problem, because the answer looks simple to me.

1. Draw a shape that overlaps the area that you want to be a gap^M
2. Select the original image
3. Ctrl-select the overlapping shape
4. Select the Difference boolean operation

Your path now has a hole in it, so just edit the nodes to make it the right shape.

heheh, right. It works. I somehow tried all the hardest boolean operations forgeting difference, especially 'cut path' and 'divide'.

Thank you, Karol
