Is it possible to set the stroke's position in relation to the line? For example, if I draw a circle and give it a thick stroke, can I set the stroke to begin at the edge of the circle and extend outward, or inward, instead of centering itself?
Inkscape is an SVG editor, and SVG does not support stroke position (inset/center/outset).
That said, the stroke can be partially hidden by setting the paint order in the Fill/Stroke dialog (fill overwrites inner half of stroke), or clipping the shape using right-mouse menu: Create clip group (hides outer half).
