I just wanted to throw this idea in. Maybe someone finds it interesting.
It certainly needs more thought before it could be implemented.
Currently, the outliner provides a plain list of each kind of item, e.g.
a list of all citations within a (master) document. This is very handy
for looking and going through the whole list, or find related items such
as all references to a label.
However, often I would like to go to a particular item that I know is in
a certain chapter, section or such. Some kind of "TOC view" would be
helpful.
One way to do this would be to add extra items to the list with numbers
and headings according to the TOC. Maybe they would be grayed out.
Another, more interesting idea, is to have a foldable list as in the TOC
but be able to control its depth, so that one can find an item, e.g., in
a chapter more easily even if one does not know in which subsection it
occurs.
One might even go for only this new "TOC view". Then from the drop down
list one can choose which additional items to show in the TOC, 'None'
being one option which gives the classic TOC. The depth can be adjusted,
so that a depth of 0 just means that one gets the plain list of item
type selected, e.g., citations if they are selected. Some items will
appear grouped when a depth of 0 is selected, e.g. references under labels.
