Free Obsidian plugin
Zoom Into Section
Zoom into a heading or list item to see only it and its contents, with a breadcrumb bar to climb back out. Works without turning on any fold settings.
Install from the Obsidian directory Open in Obsidian Source code and issues

What it does
Focus on one heading or one list item. Everything else in the note disappears until you zoom back out.
Put the cursor on a heading, or anywhere in its section, and run Zoom in on the heading or list item at the cursor. Put it on a list item and you get that item with everything nested under it.
The bar above the note shows where you are, from the note's name down. Click any crumb to zoom to that level, or the first one to see the whole note again. Nothing in your note changes: zooming only hides lines.
Highlights
- Open links zoomed in. Turn on Open links to a heading zoomed in and following
[[Note#Heading]],[[#Heading]], a nested[[Note#Heading#Subheading]]or a link to a list item ([[Note#^block-id]]) opens the note zoomed into that section or item. It works for a click, Ctrl/Cmd + click in a new tab and anything else that opens a link. Links to a whole note, to a paragraph or to a heading that does not exist open the note as usual. It is off by default. - Zoom into a heading. The command Zoom into a heading… lists the headings of the note; pick one to zoom straight into it, without moving the cursor first.
- Each tab remembers its zoom. Go to another note in a tab and come back, or use back and forward, and the note is zoomed as you left it. Tabs that are open when you quit are zoomed again when you start Obsidian. The zoom is kept as the heading's text, not a line number, so it follows the heading when the note changes above it, and is dropped if the heading is renamed or deleted. Leaving the zoom forgets it.
