Such object can be saved in ODF as path object or as custom-shape. What
manipulation with the object are done after it is first time generated?

If an immediate realization is needed, I would do it via macro. At least the
way from the outline of rectangle or ellipse to a sequence of arcs is not hard.
Although I would not use real arcs but simple Bézier curve segments.

It is not a question of ODF, but a problem of providing a generating tool.
Besides a conversion tool also a new kind of freeform line might solve the
request.
