I think you misunderstood somewhat what I was suggesting.

As far as I understand, navi-mode uses an interface like occur; it
presents a separate buffer with the results which you can then use to
navigate to the results.  Am I correct?

What I was suggesting (and how I understood the OPs question) was, to
restrict regular (i)search to headlines.  Consider the following example
Org buffer:


  * Top heading
  
  ** Sub-heading 1
  + List entry
  + Another entry with an enumerated list
    1. Foo
    2. Bar
  
  ** Another sub-heading


Now with such restriction enabled, `C-s A n o t h e r' will navigate to
the headline (just like regular isearch-forward)

  ** Another sub-heading

not the list item

  + Another entry with an enumerated list

As far as I know, functionality like this exists for traditional source
code buffers using semantic search.  I was wondering if it is possible
to leverage that mechanism to get the behaviour described above.  If it
is indeed possible, it could be hacked to work for other Org syntax
elements like links, lists, source blocks, drawers, etc.

Hopefully I didn't misunderstand your post and I was clearer expressing
myself this time.

Cheers,
