Outliner that allows you to work per hierarchy level

Hi All,

I’m looking for a outliner-style notetaking software à la Workflowy, which allows you to nest everything in a hierarchical tree structure, but where you can select any level of hierarchy and view only items of that level separately. So for example every level 1 line can be a header, and level 2 textbook notes, then on the 3rd level you write your own comments and questions, and can separately view and export that level only. Or you decide to add things to the second level only and need an overview of all that’s in there without clutter. In Workflowy and other similar software, the entire tree hierarchy functions effectively as 1 block of text. Is there any way to accomplish what I described that you know of? It doesn’t necessarily have to be outliner software though.

There’s Gingko which can somewhat do this from a visual standpoint but that’s just a crutch.
