Base: "group by this property" with value as heading in outline pane

Use case or problem

When you sort “group by” a property, it would be much useful to see each property value as heading so that you can navigate them in outline.

Imagine you are having a lot of values within a property, after “group by: a property”, you have to scroll up and down to navigate a specific group you want to see. If the value is a heading, you can navigate quickly via outline.

Proposed solution

After “group by: a property”, make each property value as a heading so they can be navigated via outline

Current workaround (optional)

Scroll up and down

I don’t understand this.

I could be wrong, but I think what OP means is that in the outline view, each “group” in a base shows up as if it were an h1-h6 heading one less than the heading the base appears under.

Thus, if the note source was:

### Main
![[Events.base]]

the outline view in the right sidebar would show just

Main

However, if you then grouped the base results by “Past”, “Present”, and “Future”, the outline view would show

Main
| Past
| Present
| Future

and clicking “Future” in that outline would scroll you to that group of the base, just as clicking “Main” would take you to the top of the “Main” section.

Yes, that’s what I mean.

For example, I embed ![[Books.base]] and group it by type (novel, biography, manual). Displaying those groups in outline would be convenient to jump to specific group (like jumping to specific heading).

Outline View shows

novel
biography
manual
