Description

Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?

Yes

Orgmode link

https://orgmode.org/manual/TODO-dependencies.html

Feature value

No response

Additional context

I have a lot of tasks without deadlines/scheduled times, but they naturally form a kind of dependency hierarchy. Because they don't have an attached time, they don't show up in the agenda view, but only in the List of all TODO entries (<leader>oat); however, this is quite an overwhelming view when dependencies are not accounted for. The documentation says that in the Emacs version, blocked tasks can be dimmed/filtered out.

Research direction

No implementation files or tests are named. Start by reading the linked Orgmode TODO dependencies documentation and tracing the code behind the List of all TODO entries command; done should include dependency-aware dimming or filtering of blocked tasks in that view.
