Could the symbol picker be used to navigate documents using Markdown headings?

[David-Else]

It would be great to be able to navigate markdown using the headings:

h1 heading1
   h2 heading2
       h3 heading3
   h2 heading4
   h2 heading5

Is that in the scope of the symbol picker?

This feature would be a game changer. Just having an overview of the document headings alone would be really useful.

Ideally this is something an LSP for markdown would provide (I need to swing back around to #2182 😅)

This could alternatively be accomplished with tree-sitter tags (#1252 is about stack graphs but the concepts are similar). I think that's what Zas editor is doing with the "Filter Symbols" picker (scroll down to the "file structure" part of zas' website). For programming languages symbols are usually functions / methods / classes but for markup you could tag headers and paragraphs and the like.

I'm getting this feature to work using the symbol picker with marksman lsp in Helix!
