Add command to view the document outline

[richtabor]

Add a command that renders with the document outline information in the command itself. If selected, the command should open the Outline tab within List view. In this particular example, searching for outline would not return the command (though words, characters, time would) — we need support for keywords.

Hello @richtabor,

I'm currently unable to locate the "Outline" tab within the List view. Is this feature still pending implementation?

[richtabor]

Hm, you should see it if you open up the List view - running WP 6.3 or Gutenberg.

Thanks @richtabor I am able to find it in the post editor. But I'm unable to find it in the site editor.

@abhi3315 The post editor has an outline because the data in it is about the single post being edited, while in the site editor multiple elements are edited at once (multiple template parts, patterns, one template, one post etc) so the outline makes little sense in the site editor.

@richtabor on that logic the outline should show up when the user edits a page in the site editor :) right?

@richtabor I've implemented the requested outline command, but hit a potential snag. The command structure doesn't seem to accommodate handling "words, characters and time" components - would some architectural changes be needed here? Let me know how I should be proceeding here if you have time.

My implementation
