OK, an example: if I am 140 degrees from the final approach course, can the controller issue "cleared straight in approach" and ignore the course reversal! Just hang a tight 140 turn? I have been told by some that is the case, that the ATCO can issue such shortcuts.

Aerobat77. Based on your profile, I was fling non-radar approached prior o your conception. Don't make assumptions.
