Obsidian hits a perfect target. It’s a framework for notes with a flexible API.
I think my favorite outlining in Obsidian would be with a Bike file in the Obsidian vault. Bike’s hyperlinks feature works with Obsidian URLs. There’s no linking they other way, jumping to a spot in a Bike outline from Obsidian, so there are limitations.
Outlining as a sort of flow chart in Obsidian Canvases continues to suit my tastes, too.

Maybe you are trying to do something different, but I’m able to link from Obsidian into a Bike outline.
1. In Bike move text caret to row that you want to link to
2. In Bike choose menu Edit > Copy > Row Link
3. In Obsidian create markdown link and past the copied Bike link
4. Now in Obsidian you can click that link and the linked to row will open in Bike.
For example here’s the link that I created in Obsidian:
[test link to Bike row](bike://DuUXL_RZ/#6b)

Doh!!!
Yes, works perfectly.
Obsidian’s built in and community outlining is limited. Bike is better.
My opinion, of course, and from a mere hack, not a real writer.

Dang, that’s cool. I enjoy working with both products, but haven’t (till now) found a useful way to combine them. This could be it…
How ‘bout the iOS version, Jesse? Jesse?
