Word’s navigation pane has an outline mode. The main body of the document has header folding (marginally better than most markdown editors because there are nine levels; significantly poorer than WriteMonkey 3 with its ability to fold anything on the fly); easy to work with any chosen level. Linked notes connect to a OneNote section or page in a right-hand panel. There’s a range of specialist add-ins for all types of writers (only ones I always have installed are Paperpile, Zotero, PWA and Writage).

It’s not perfect, but ticks enough boxes to make it the best option for me. Main deficiency is the lack of good visual mode - but Mindomo exports perfectly to docx and it’s easy to set up links in both directions.
