Minimap / outline sidebar or overlay

Hi there, I’ve just been trying out the Linux demo - works perfectly, smoothly and most of all it makes efficient use of space which is what bugs me about other organisation tools (which often seem to have a UX based around an email client). Suits my creative brain more :)

Something I like in the IDEs I use is the “minimap / outline” sidebar, which gives you a zoomed-out visual overview of the of the code which you can click on to move to the clicked point. E.g., see: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface#_minimap

The point of this, if not familiar, is not to be a legible thing that you can read, but more to give you a recognisable map of the “shape” of the code. I think this would be a really nice addition to MasterPlan, as the layout of the plans are quite personal, and even a small minimap would give you the ability to quickly recognise distinct parts of your plan which you could click on to immediately pan to them.
