Hi, 
  There have been attempts for similar things.

 1. There was org-freemind :  https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FreeMind. To convert between org and freemind files. It went out of maintenance and bitrotted. Doesn't work anymore, but the code is available for you to play with.

2. There is org-mind-map : https://github.com/theodorewiles/org-mind-map . Simple, and it works. It uses graphviz. It is somewhat based on Sacha's evil-plans.
