I suggest to new folder / basket types:

- link folders: Any note you drop there won't get moved, but linked. This 
way you can have your big drop all folder and still related notes together 
without removing them from your big drop all folder.

- query folders: These just perform a query on notes in a different or all 
different folders and show the results of the query. Much like that 
Akonadi Nepomuk query folder stuff that was mentioned in this thread.

Then out of the link and query folders the application - whether it might 
be Basket or something else - could automatically create a relationship 
view that looks a bit like a mind map.

Say I had too link folders "Nature" and "Spirit" where I put nature 
related and spiritual things in. Then in the relational view I would get 
the both words Nature and Spirit and expandable views onto all the notes 
related to them. Same with query folders.

Challenge would be to get the user interface straight-forward and simple. 
I think this needs lot of usability work.
