Structurally it sounds very akin to the idea that has occasionally been asked for, to allow commentaries in a gen-book layout. Within the commentary you might have a nesting such as New Testament - Gospels -- Luke --- Birth of Christ ---- Magnificat ----- Luke 1:50
The commentary might include text at all of those levels that someone scrolling directly to Luke 1:50 might be interested in. Currently there is no way to display all of that text to the user, as commentaries are - like Bibles - a flat array of verses. By the same token, it might be nice to have a daily devotional that is structured in a similar way. Then you could have 2016 - February -- Lent --- 02.10 as an entry for today, and all of the parents would be displayed together. This would obviously require significantly different tooling, but having a hierarchical arrangement of keys in all of our modules could give this sort of flexibility when a module creator wanted it. --Greg P.S.
