Mind maps are really cool… But what if mind-maps for each page could be connected directly to the graph view?
For example:
# Etymology
## Middle English
In Middle English and as late as 17c., it was a generic term for all fruit other than berries but including nuts (such as Old English fingeræppla "dates," literally "finger-apples;" Middle English appel of paradis "banana," c. 1400). Hence its grafting onto the unnamed "fruit of the forbidden tree" in Genesis. Cucumbers, in one Old English work, are eorþæppla, literally "earth-apples" (compare French pomme de terre "potato," literally "earth-apple;" see also [melon](https://www.etymonline.com/word/melon?ref=etymonline_crossreference)).
## French
French pomme is from Latin pomum "apple; fruit" (see [Pomona](https://www.etymonline.com/word/Pomona?ref=etymonline_crossreference)).
# Types
[[Granny Smith]]
[[Fuji apple]]
[[Pink lady]]
...
The normal mind-map plugin would have:
Apple --- Etymology --- French
| '---- Middle English
'--- Types
which contains all the headings of the page. But what if we could do something like this too:
Apple --- Etymology --- French
| '---- Middle English
'--- Types --- [[Granny Smith]] --- ...
' --- [[Fuji apple]] --- ...
' --- [[Pink lady]] --- ...
As part of the extension of the local graph view of course. It would make headings extremely powerful. Not only that, it would make it uniquely Obsidian as I believe no other PKM app/outliner has ever tried something like that.
In a way, headings would become almost like #tags - soft “pages”. So they don’t actually exist outside of the page, but it shapes context. And if we were to visit [[Granny Smith]], we can see how it links back to # Types under [[Apple]].
