There are several ways to achieve the same target, which is to have a "correct" waypoint TO.
Some like sequencing by clearing the waypoint from, or a couple of waypoints.
If there is a lot of waypoints to clear perhaps is better the next method:
make a DIR TO to the desired WPT TO and then pull HDG.
make a DIR TO with radial in to a suitable waypoint in final (if your FMGS standard allows it) and then pull HDG
In some cases I think it would be OK not to pull HDG. That would give better VDEV (if you pull HDG the FMGS computes direct distance from a/c to the WPT TO.)
