Yes, indeed. That would work very well IMO.

As Kevin pointed out, I have used route=canoe in a relation but without
adding a tag to the ways, most maps either cannot, or choose not to, render
them so you're left with footways that end on both sides of a lake (the
portages) with no connection between them. Solving this problem is the
reason I made my suggestion.
