That does not make any sense. A line of text is always justified in
some way or other and it is very hard to come up with any other useful
alternatives apart from left, right, centred and full.

Ah, I suspect you are really talking about word wrapping and not about
justification at all. You effectively want to stop the text from
wrapping at spaces. If so, then yes, the way you suggested (using hard
spaces instead of normal spaces) is the only way to do it. I am not
aware of any word processor that has a specific function to not wrap
at spaces and hyphens.
