In the blog post by Nate Liason, I saw that he creates entries with certain dates and below it puts a to-do list, ordered by lower-level headings. Then, when referring to the file with the date, one can view the to-do list in the side bar. In other words, one can see all the levels below the level where the link to the current file is placed. However, in the current build of org-roam, one can only view one level, is it possible to see any lower level headings?

This feature will be very helpful. The link provided is broken. Here is the actual link to the blog post.

This feature will allow you to build content feeds indirectly from multiple files based on a link or tag that captures a lower (or same) level content block. No additional effort will be required. Such feeds can, for example, act as inboxes for your ideas, content, or tasks.

Here is an example of what I mean: https://youtu.be/A6PIrVZoZAk?t=1250.

However, you would have to be able to filter and order the contents of the side-bar to search or reduce clutter.
The side-bar can also act as a preview window to another note as well.

I've been thinking about this lately. When I add notes in daily, I usually just create a heading with the file link, and add dump everything I have below that level. Then when I'm consolidating all the dumps, I see which dates I have entries for, and only the heading.

I understand it will clutter the backlinks buffer if everything under the heading is shown all the time, but perhaps we can have an option to expand the buffer in same org-mode view styles (top only, headings only, everything) in rotation on tab press. That will combine best of both worlds of being spartan by default and showing extra information by default when wanted. this way, user doesn't have to open the entire file and lose the context of open file in front just to refer and copy something from under the heading.
