Add a widget: table with hierarchy

timbl commented 4 years ago

There is a handy view which is used, for example, in the Mac OS X finder (and OmniOutliner.app in the Pro version), which combines a table view of several columns across with the ability, in the first column, to open up the subtree underneath the given row.

Example uses

Exploring files in their pod, the user wants as an alternative to the current folder view which old has outline mode with no columns.
Listing tasks in a tracker, when tasks can have sub-tasks. Currently you can create subtasks individually, but the user wants to be open up tasks to see their subtasks in the issue table view
If we support groups within other groups in the Contacts, this widget would be able to list an outline mode list with the number in each group.

There may be all kinds of other uses.
