Is there any way to get a text list of layers and the elements on each layer?

I would like to make a checklist of things to work on in a project. Is there a way to get the tree structure of the Layers window in text?

I can see it in the XML editor. But, I cannot drag over the text to copy it. 

I tried right-clicking on the file icon in Windows Explorer. There is an option to "Edit in Notepad". But, this shows all the graphical attributes of the objects. 

I tried opening it in a browser and viewing at the Page Source. But, this shows the same graphical attributes. I just want what is shown in the Layers hierarchy. 

You mean just the tag with the id attribute ?

Thanks for the reply.

If I open the XML file from Windows Explorer, I can see what you are posting, inklinea. But, I just want what is in the Layers tree structure. The XML Editor window inside Inkscape has fewer tags than the file. But, I cannot copy that text from that window inside Inkscape. 

I did a little bit of searching. I discovered that MS Copilot can to OCR (optical character recognition). I was able to upload a screenshot of the Layers tree structure and get a list that I could copy.

If I work it out, will post here.
