for doc-view, if you're willing to rely on "mutool" (a cli program that
is installed with mupdf), one can extract an outline with something
similar to this function:

  https://codeberg.org/jao/elibs/src/branch/main/lib/doc/jao-pdf.el#L48    

i then for instance use it to provide imenu jumping with this code:

  https://codeberg.org/jao/elibs/src/branch/main/lib/doc/jao-doc-view.el#L50

just in case you'd like to add something like that to your package (all
in all it's just a dozen lines per function).

cheers,
