By the way, Eric, thanks for your tip. I probably wouldn't found that 
org-store-link can be used in Dired. Combined with org-super-links and 
org-open-at-point, it makes it joyful.

You asked about what was I imagining, so I will share the configuration 
I have finished with (by now).

My imagination goes beyond, though, like using "r" and "l" to "move" 
subdirectories one level down or up. Although maybe I would never use 
it. As said, the keybindings I am using in Dired, inspired many of them 
by org-mode keybindings:

;; Bind 'TAB' to toggle subtree visibility (cycle through subdirectories)
(with-eval-after-load 'dired
   (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'dired-subtree-cycle))

;; Create a new directory (similar to 'M-RET' in Org-mode)
   ;; Existing Dired keybinding: '+' is used for 'dired-create-directory'
   ;; New keybinding: 'M-RET'
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "M-RET") 'dired-create-directory)

;; (org-speed-move-safe 'outline-up-heading) (similar to 'u' in Org-mode 
for dired-subtree-up)
   ;; Existing Dired keybinding: 'u' for dired-unmark
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "u") 'dired-subtree-up)

  ;; Bind 's' to narrow the view to the current subdirectory
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "s") 'dired-subtree-narrow)

(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "U") 'dired-unmark)
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "C-g") 'dired-unmark-all-marks)
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "N") 'dired-next-line)
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "C-<return>") 'dired-w32explore)
