Yes there is: http://www.mindgenius.com/

(hard to justify the price though, as with most mind mappers)

Dr Andus, reading your specifications above I also thought of TheBrain; then, when you mentioned the pinned-down view I thought of TreeSheets. I would imagine it is ideal, but not very convenient with the links, as you get them in full view.

TheBrain has (for me) a very big advantage over mind maps, which justifies a dynamic view: you can link anything to anything. A mind map has by definition one centre from which everything radiates; yet this is not a good model for the kind of information I personally deal with—your situation may vary. By the way, I believe MindGenius partly overcomes this limitation: it can restructure the map with different reference points, based on tags, similarly to TreeSheets.
