This is really useful, but not what I am looking for. I am effectively
looking for what this does, only for a whole thread. Something along the
lines of having a summary buffer showing only one thread (in notmuch see
screenshot [1]), and when I select a single article, it expands the
article *in the summary buffer* [2].

Yes - very useful indeed.
