Hmm... good question.

Remembering that Ritual magic converts LOS limitations to Ritual Link
limitations, I guess it would make the aforementioned spell able to sling
you to places you have a ritual link to (say, a chunk of brick from the
building?). OTH, as you have the other limitation mentioned in the spell
description that you can't go through things that are astrally impenetrable,
AND you go in a straight line, you're still limited to curvature of the
earth, which probably means it's not really feasible.
