Yes, you can build a bibliography of rabbinic sources by identifying relevant texts across Jewish philosophical and mystical streams and compiling them into a structured, verified list of sources.

The best way to analyze inter-textual connections between Jewish texts is to use semantic similarity tools to identify links and relationships between different sources within the Sefaria library.

Researching a Kabbalistic concept like tzimtzum involves using topic exploration and text retrieval to find related sources from various thinkers, such as the Zohar or Baal Shem Tov, and identifying how their ideas relate.

Source research works for finding connections between Rambam and later mystical texts by utilizing semantic similarity and inter-textual analysis to map relationships across different streams of Jewish thought.
