Check out the new "Variable Outline" tool in the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite March 2023 Subscriber Update (and in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2023 which is available for one-time purchase if a subscription doesn't meet your needs).
For those who are on a CorelDRAW Graphics Suite subscription - the March 2023 Subscriber Update is available as an update patch, and if you have automatic updates turned on you should already have that latest update installed in the background - so the new Variable Outline tool will be ready for you in the toolbox (and in the Properties bar, in the Properties docker/inspector and other meaningful place where you typically edit curves).
Maybe they should Add a modifier to it, like holding the CTRL key and it breaks the shaped object into Curves then as you'd erase, it becomes an open object.
You can already do this: just Convert To Curves the box and erase away. A box is handled as just that, a box, meaning there's just one line and four points making it up, so you can easily transform it; a curve object can be anything but it won't transform the same way (or nothing would work when you did).

This does not work.
