I'm not sure what you mean about having to add new parameters to
existing functions.  For example, if I understand correctly what you're
wanting, this code does approximately that:

    (defun ap/org-display-olp-lines ()
      (interactive)
      (thread-first
          (cl-loop for heading in (org-get-outline-path t)
                   for i from 0
                   for indent = (make-string (* i 2) ? )
                   collect (concat indent "* " heading))
        (string-join "\n")
        message))

Which displays, e.g.

    * Computers
      * Software
        * Emacs
          * Org-mode
            * Articles
              * Orgmode for GTD
