I’ve done more research. The proper term of these Recursive Queries is Common Table Expressions (CTEs). I learned that a developer had already worked on trying to get these in Django more towards the beginning of this year, but it doesn’t look like it was taken.
Django-mptt looks like it will do I what I need it to do, but it’s not what I really…want. It adds all this extra overhead to traverse a tree, but modern databases can utilize the WITH RECURSIVE statement to get the same results.
