I am asking for a style (or something similar), let us call it ERASE. The imaginary tool works as a convenient inverse clip or eraser within a scope. The specific way is asked within the comment in the following MWE. The MWE is an abstract form of my use cases (if you do not like the background, think of color wheel graphs from complex analysis to smooth your ruffled feathers).
documentclassmemoir
usepackagefontspec,amsmath,tikz
usetikzlibraryshadings,calc
tikzsetnodeStyle/.style=draw,rounded corners,thick

%This is readable but removes the background.

% erases everything in this scope "behind" this new object
% such that the diagonal line in this node is not visible and

% thus the desired EREASE instruction might be possible.
clip (1,7) rectangle (8,10);
draw[thick] (0,6) -- (8,10);
endscope
endtikzpicture
enddocument
This imaginary tool might be unsuited for more complex use cases within several paths involved. Any suggestions on improving the use case are welcome.

Here is a version using the reverseclip trick. I am not sure if one can easily implement this as a robust style that can be added to the node since clip does not allow extra options. However, apart from that this does it, I think. EDIT: Simplified the matters by employing use path.
