If you already use Scrivener, then you ought to keep using it, maybe supplemented by OneNote and Workflowy/Dynalist for the things it doesn’t do well, or at all. The challenge isn’t how many different programs you can incorporate into your workflow - that way lies madness and a loss of productivity - but rather how *few* programs you can master and thus extract from them everything you really need to get your work done.

Ahmed, especially for “a” on Dr Andus’ list you may wish to look at Citavi, but it also could be useful for “b” and “c”

Two-pane outliners are plentiful and should do what you want. Cherry Tree, TreePad, RightNote and a bunch of others are examples.
