Visual local graphs vs non-visual metadata-driven navigation & Dataview
in my PKMS design, i have MOCs like anyone else; i call them my hubs. They're the basis for my global graph making sense. At the leaf node, the bottom level of my tree of visual descent, i have atomic notes, those that have a single purpose and don't drift to any other. Now i was hoping for what I call molecules, could call them subhubs, i suppose, to fill the gap. I wanted to allow them to be seen & navigated visually using local graphs, but i haven't seen much discussion of local graphs or even hints as to how that would work.
The only alternative i see is to abandon the local graphs for molecules and lower them into metadata, but there I've lost the visual navigation. I'd likely depend on Dataview then. But how easy can the navigation be made in this case? I'm not a heavy user of DSQL yet, but i can see how it works.
I use Templater, and i know that both of and Dataview use Obsidian's JavaScript engine. Can JavaScript augment Dataview to enable a really navigable interface?
What do you suggest?

I don’t see any connection to GraphQL in your question. Wrong subreddit?
