This may sound like a crazy idea, BUT I will put it out anyway. Kdissert
(http://freehackers.org/~tnagy/kdissert.html) is a tool that can convert a tree
hierarchy to a document outline but not the other way round. It is extremely
useful to visualize the outline of documents. Currently, the branches of the
tree cannot be collapsed and one has to view the tree in its entirety. 

I was wondering if  "outline view" could be implemented in OO such that clicking
on some button could open up a new window and display a visual representation of
the outline tree. This visual representation MUST be collapseable to user
defined depth individually on different outline branches. If this visual
representation of the outline can be linked to the document, the users can
simply see this visual representation of the outline and navigate the required
part of the document by simply clicking on the required outline tree branch.
This would not require any changes to the way a document is displayed and
visualized, which I believe is what is requires lots of work on part of
programmer to implement outline view. The linking from the tree to the document
contents would be not different from a cross-reference. 

It is not quite the same as outline view that users are requesting for, but I
think this is much more powerful as gives a visual representation of the outline
view. Ofcourse there will be limitations on what can be displayed in the visual
tree outline. 

Comments, suggestions ?
