On a Win11 desktop PC, with LibreOffice 24.8.4.2,
I would like a Tree? or Folder? structure, like:
Animals ﹀
_____Dogs >
_____Cats ﹀
__________Barney >
__________Fluffy >
_____Horses ﹀
__________Trigger >
_____Goats >
Can LibreOffice do this?
Thanks, people.

Please, describe more clearly what you want.
Is it “simply” a hierarchical list you enter manually? Do you want to retrieve it from some OS command output and paste it into a Writer document?
Be aware that such data is “frozen” in Writer: you can’t expand the “triangles” to show selectively the tree.
Are you familiar with styles?
Thanks for the reply, Ajlittoz.
I think that the answer to your question is Yes, entered manually.
Under DOGS> there could be Rover> and Spot> and RinTinTin> and MANY other Dogs.
Each of those “dog name” entries could have Many sub(folders/categories), like
_____AKC Breed>
_____Address﹀
__________123 Some Street, Denver, CO
_____Favorite Food>
_____Parents>
All of the data would probably be entered manually, or Copy/Pasted from some other file, and I want to click on any of the “﹀” lines, so that none of those “sub-categories” are showing.
Not only Text data. I want to be able to include JPG pictures, PDF files, and anything else that LibreOffice can handle.
Nope, I’m not familiar with Styles. I just read a bit about that in online “LibreOffice 25.2 Help Contents” and I don’t see how that works in this scenario. If You think that the Styles thing WILL do what I want, then I’ll study it further.
Villeroy, I looked at your Life.ODB file. Thanks very much for creating that sample.
Looks like it does sorta’ have “sub-categories”, but they’re not near as easy to Expand or Contract as I would like. What you created there is a Database file?.. I’m assuming that I want a Writer file.
Advice?
Thanks, people.
Calc can do : Group and Outline

Don’t use Writer.
.
On reading your first post I thought of flow-charts, but then I read your addition on the objects to add:
So my guess is you wish to create a html-website and your folders/categories will be links to other html-files.
.
The main question is: What is your goal?
PS: Writer can create html and handle links, but I would not recommend it for this task (unless your neede are very basic).
Click any category and you see its subcategories. You can edit, delete, insert categories and subcategories directly in place.
Once you have the hierarchical structure in a database, you can generate spreadsheets and text files from that.
