How can I add tiny gaps to the shape cutting line at several points in the cutting line? I mean, the cut-out does not fall out of the sheet to be cut out, but remains in the sheet. I don’t know what to call it in English.
Is there any option or plan to add it?

These are called tabs.
The easiest way would be to just add a small rectangle to your shape and then using the boolean operation to join them.
Here is another topic with some excellent information:
These tabs are also known as “bridges”. LightBurn currently does not have this in the way you are thinking but it has been discussed. You can provide support for a “bridge” feature on our voting site .
You can however, build your desired tabs/bridges into your existing artwork using the ‘Boolean Subtract’ tool discussed in this video. ( good example about 5 mins in)

Yes, these are known as Tabs or “Bridges”. For now, follow the suggested workflows from @jpjacobs and/or @Stroonzo . They are both workable, yet we understand not ideal. You can vote up this ‘Planned’ addition here: https://lightburn.fider.io/posts/21/ability-to-make-bridges
