line of sight

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'direct view' is the definition.
'line of sight' can be an answer for 'view' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'direct' bit.

'let go and finish fresh' is the wordplay.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fresh' indicates an anagram.
'let'+'go'='letgo'
'letgo' put after 'finish' is 'finishletgo'.
'finishletgo' with letters rearranged gives 'LINE OF SIGHT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for line of sight that I've seen is " Link between the eye and an observed object".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
