Is it possible to snap (ArcGis tool) line feature to a polygon without joining vertexes?

I don't think it is and I cannot see a reason why one would do it.

Either both objects have a topological relationship - e.g. the fence is exactly at the boundary of the meadow. Then you want joined vertexes (else somebody fixes the geometry of the meadow and the fence is not fixed with it).

Or both objects are defined independently of each other, e.g. both the fence and the meadow are visible from the aerial imagery and you want both to have their own geometry. Then you want neither shared vertexes nor snapped geometry!

(JOSM will not join vertexes if you hold the Ctrl key while clicking at the new node position, however that means no snapping either.)
