But, how do you *access* the wire to do so?  Possibly you can gain access
INSIDE a box.  But, now you have to get your "stub" wire out of the box
and into the "cavity" and, eventually, over to its destination.

Here, we can open walls with a "plunge saw" (drywall saw) -- to any level
of exposure deemed necessary.  Then, slip a new piece of drywall (cut to
that size/shape) in its place and patch.
