projecting the line onto the outer surface of the cylinder could be the right way, but it has to be done with a script or a Macro.
It is not very difficult, you could also make two cylinder and project join the lines to create a solid like I've done in a recent post about characters.

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.

Using loft to point and polar pattern in Part Design looks simpler to me.
