Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using the notes list widget, currently its usefulness is severely limited by the fact that you can only see which notes you have. Some of them have context that will be missing as derived from categories, and sometimes youd like a smaller note to be always visible, maybe even along with its checklist.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like for there to be an option to show the note category in the notes list widget, and perhaps one to show its content (preferably with editable checkmarks). A (configurable) cutoff for such content would likely be ideal.
Perhaps it would even make sense to allow the user to select an option that makes the notes appear as they are categorized (expandable?).
Describe alternatives you've considered
There are no good alternatives that I can think of. So far ive been using shelf notes on my oneplus phone, and sticky notes, a completely different program, on windows. I am consolidating my notes into Nextcloud, however I kind of miss the oneplus functionality of creating a note that then just lives on the "shelf".

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Notes List Widget implementation and reviewing its current rendering and configuration flow. Done would require an agreed, bounded behavior for showing categories or truncated content, rather than the several optional designs described here.
