Hi!

Hmm, not sure if this would classify as something hierarchical. I’d classify it as something set-based. It would allow “many to many” relations between files and collections, with definitions of the relation being declared per collection. I.e. a collection is a set of files. I haven’t thought of adding hierarchical relations between collections. I also haven’t thought of adding arbitrary named relations between collections (i.e. creating a graph). So this, in my mind, is orthogonal to hierarchies and graphs. I haven’t thought of what relations between collections should mean. And haven’t thought that there should be a syntax for that either.

But please explain more on what you think, if I misunderstood you!

That seems hierarchical, which is ok (as in org-mode itself) but how about implementing a more general graph mechanism, which could be used to do this but more flexibly?

Hi list and all honored readers!

I have an idea. One that I've mentioned before in side notes. And I want to emphasize that this still only is an idea. But I want to present this idea to you. As a way to gather feedback and get input. Maybe the idea is stupid!? Maybe you think it's already solved? Or maybe it's not, and lots of you resonate with it as well. In any case, please let me know what you think on the piece below!
