It happens often on mountain hiking routes. You have a signpost with the red-white sign of the Alpine Club that indicates the direction that you have to take across a meadow, for example. On the other side you have to find a corresponding sign. In between there may not be any visible path. In that case I would happily put a highway=path with surface=grass as a straight line across the meadow.
