Multidimensional graph view

Use case or problem

Right now the graph view is one dimensional, and for creating huge notes, and understand in better in way. The problem in obsidian graph is , when i started to create notes, when it grows, it is very hard to find exact topic that i want to looking for. I am requesting you. I have already emailed you. Please add this feature. Because new tech is increasing and growing day by day. Now its not a linear learning or one dimensional learning, now its a multidimensional learning, because in one single project there are so many things to use at once, and to learn all these keeping everything in brain is difficult at once.

Proposed solution

I want a feature of multi-dimensional graph system, just like obsidian documentation, that shows graph in the right direction. But if the notes will be multi-dimensional, i can create graph that will open after clicking on the specific nodes, just like you have already implemented on documentation. Ideas will have more depth, so in 1st dimension, i can create subjects, in 2nd dimension, i can create chapters, and in 3rd dimension i can create sub topics. so in 1st dimension, the graph will not look messy. and it will be depend on users weather they want to create one or multidimensional notes. And it will not look messy at all, and i continue to learn as many things as want. This one feature will make obsidian more powerful then any note taking system. Users can create one dimensional or multidimensional notes. so we can connect different notes to different dimension, and in graph view, Multidimensional nodes have specific colors or texture, by clicking on that node will open a new node contains graphs and notes related to that dimension. Also add features like we can go back on forth on the dimension with animation.

Current workaround (optional)

Another feature request :
while creating graph, the nodes title are very simple and boring , so i want some specific like bold, italic or underline or may be different colors. or different font sizes.

Related feature requests (optional)

A related feature request that you might be interested in is Add support for link types, link info, link metadata which is asking for Link Types. Presumably if you had link types, you would also be able to filter, group, and mix-and-match your connections, possibly in ways that you are imagining. You might find some useful discussion in that thread, too.

(Depending on what you are imagining, it’s possible this topic should be merged with that topic. But I don’t know, so I’ll leave it separate for now.)

Posting a feature request here is the correct way, thanks. Emailing the dev team for feature requests is not.
