I might be using the wrong terms here, but I think the idea is straightforward.
According to `buffer-invisibility-spec` docs

,----

`----

so I am wondering if a new form like `(ATOM . STRING)` can be supported so that STRING can be displayed after the invisible characters instead of ellipses.

The question was indeed directed to org users rather than to display engine developers.

The suggested solution is have an outline entry include the new line character (so that the whole extended lines is hidden). The displayed text after the invisible text would then be "...\n".
The final output is behaviour to the current one except for two things:
1. The entry would contain "\n'", logically speaking.
2. The extended line would be hidden as part of the entry.

I hope this clarifies my point.
