I would like to have a tree structure to be able to select items in
the tree like the outline, but generated in the dynamic way. It is
similar to selection dialog.

One package I know that has something similar, is Semantic Synchrony:

Semantic Synchrony
https://github.com/synchrony/smsn

I am now using tabulated-list-mode to browse hierarchical trees and
select items, it is shown on this video:

Sometimes it would be good to open sub-nodes in the same buffer and
select from same buffer, similar like it is shown in Semantic
Synchrony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2vX2oZmUUM
