I am curious if there is a way to get masking, and unmasking to function as a line tool where I can move the mouse and click, then move the mouse again and click, to create a section that is masked or unmasked. The square/rectangle is nice for doing large areas quick, but the freehand option is a little unwieldy as I am trying to use the masking and unmasking function for effects layers to do water and weather effects on my maps.

Nope.
What I do sometime is use the freehand tool, but instead of tracing the outline, instead start at an border point, draw to the interior and then finish at a border point, it will connect the start and end with a straight line. A series of those and you effectively get a polygon removal, but not as quickly or cleanly.

Well shart. That makes me sad.

You can always vote on the enhancement idea https://fgapp.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=135926
Or create one of your own since that one is not exactly what you want (but they use the same tool set.)
