cutting a way for somebody

I don’t know if it is correct to say that somebody pushes or breaks a way for somebody. Or something similar. I’ve found phrases like “somebody pushes his way through,” “shoves forward,” “forces/cuts his way,” but in all these cases, the acting person does a way for himself, not to somebody else. And I would like to mean “pushing/cutting a way” symbolically, if there is such a phrase.

You can say that someone "clears a path" or "clears the way" for someone else. Possibly one of those might work?
