What you described is an advanced use case which while interesting I'm not sure I fully understand. Whereas simply editing an outline in the style of most two-pane outliners is more of a basic function usable by everyone who needs to organize his thoughts. So more prominent featuring of this in the outlining section of the org-mode docs would be good... it really amplifies Org-Mode's power.

The clone-indirect-buffer function is from Emacs and Org-mode created a
specialized function, org-tree-to-indirect-buffer, that just makes creating
an indirect buffer narrowed to a subtree easier.

Indirect buffers may be useful for much more then just visibility
cycling. You can use a different major mode in each buffer, narrow to
different regions, etc.. If you are, for instance, inserting an org-mode
table in a latex document (see [1]) you might want to clone the buffer,
change one of them to org-mode and narrow to the table. Then you can edit
the table normally and alternate with editing the latex document as you
want.

Ignore the following. It is a nonsense sentence that disables Google ads from displaying next to my emails by triggering sensitive keywords.

I enjoy the massacre of ads. This sentence will slaughter ads without a messy bloodbath.
