As I am exploring Hypertext¹ systems in Emacs maybe advices from
experienced programmers could help me in the endeavor:

- I would like to explore options to create a rather relaxed hypertext
  system. Now I am using tabulated-list-mode and this is working very
  good. Hyperlinks are everywhere as each line is a hyperlink to
  something. Jump to related person, group, organization, timestamps,
  tags, send email, many options are possible as the lines in
  tabulated-list-mode are rigid structure; Something more relaxed
  would be something as similar to below:

- Is there maybe well known other ways to dynamically create the
  outline? That would mean that each outline has its action assigned,
  keys, or buttons, where user could click or press a key. The ELPA
  package `ztree' seem to be similar to what I could use, yet I am not
  sure. Maybe there is some other way? Semantic Synchrony:
  https://github.com/synchrony/smsn is also something similar to what
  I would need. Org may be dynamically created and that is one way of
  doing it. Maybe there are other ways?

- The HTML and eww Hypertext is not an option for me, that could be
  only good for reporting, but not for dynamically bound list of
  functions to specific hyperlinks; One same link on my side can
  provide different target depending of the key or function invoked.

- I am thinking if I could maybe use Info mode on the fly to
  dynamically create Info pages as it is pretty much complete
  Hypertext system. It would probably be harder to assign various
  functions to the same hyperlink. If this is maybe possible in the
  Texinfo mode to assign various functions to single hyperlink, I
  would like to know.


Any other suggestions are welcome. 

Thanks in advance,
Jean Louis
