<p>The node you need is "shape on path". It takes any path and
distributes a shape (e.g. a dot or a dash) along that path. You can
either specify a fixed amount and have the shapes distributed
evenly, or place them with a fixed amount of space between each
one.</p>
<p>I have attached a simple example. I create a random path by
combining a line, arc, and quad curve. I then distribute elongated
ellipses along that path to create a dotted line. (You could use
round ellipses or line segments or little rectangles or whatever.)
I then feed the dots into a colorize node to assign them a set of
random colors.</p>
<p>Please let me know if this satisfies you!</p>

Thank you for your effort and this interesting approach, really
appreciate it.<br>
I'm using this technique in one design project, I'll let you know
the results as soon as I can.</p>
<p>Best</p></div>Zyl
