Associate certain types of files/buffers with each other, often by calling a function (instead of a simple alist of actual buffers and files)?
The org roam notes illustrate well why I can't just add each file to something like torus individually -- I have hundreds of notes on literature and adding them all by hand would take forever. But I could write a function which would return, for each buffer, the relevant other file. Each lit not has an ROAM_REFS property, which holds the key for the literature in my bib file, and then ebib and citar have enough code that I could write a function for going from that to the pdf file. I would be happy to write that function, but I need a package to knit the whole thing together. It should lookup the right command for the right buffer and jump to it.

Grouping buffers
If you're looking for a newer implementation inspired by the idea of mtorus, you may want to give https://github.com/chimay/torus a try. Chimay is also active in this subreddit.

Grouping buffers
I use https://github.com/muffinmad/emacs-ibuffer-project, which (as the name suggests) automatically groups buffers in ibuffer by their project. If you use the cache, as described in the README, it's quite fast.
