- Use Sourcetrail (Language extension guide) or implement something similar. Right-click → find references should zoom out to show the entire graph, and highlight the definition and its uses
- Breakpoints
- Needs a "main object occurrence" feature to force an object to appear at a specific point in the top-level directory structure (inside folders and parts and other directory-like objects), regardless of whether it is used in another operation (e.g. just because someone adds an object to a "fuse" operation doesn't mean that it should be moved to a deep nesting of transformations and disappear from the main, easily-accessed part of the tree).
- Hierarchical Edge Bundles: Visualization of Adjacency Relations in Hierarchical Data for really large graphs], hopefully we won't have graphs that large, but some insights on improving legibility are interesting and probably applicable to smaller graphs.
- Meta functions ("macros" in the LISP/Scheme programming sense) to query the graph, filter some nodes to be hidden etc. Can also be used to represent modifications in the nodal editor in the history, see [Version control]
- Meta nodes to control the appearance of the nodal editor itself
New objects/nodes:
- select&sequence node, which takes operations and applies them in order (like PartDesign), but also allows selecting sub-parts of an image or geometry to operate on and then deselect to get back to the big picture. Allow for making some features optional (controlled by a checkbox in the tree / a boolean input). Allow basing features off of de-activated features (for the base plane of a sketch for example)
- diff feature to show the diff between the shapes for two inputs, overlay them in transparent versions, animate etc.
- bus to gather many outputs along a single line into a list, instead of a myriad of wires
