How to integrate fluxes across a line

I know that it is very easy to integrate a quantity over a boundary. My question is: it is possible to integrate a quantity over a line between two points belonging to a boundary ? I dont need to integrate the quantity over the entire boundary, but only over a part of that boundary

You can choose Line Integration in the Results - Derived values section. You must some way create this line in the geometry in order to be able to select it as the integration path. You can find some line primitives under more primitives or you might create a line on a workplane.

Thanks a lot.
Your suggestion is suitable in the version 3.5a ?

One click into the Postprocessing menu shows you that you have Edge Integration in 3.5a. And you can draw lines in 3.5a.
