How to display the product catalog in the sitemap (both sections and the elements themselves)?

Question

1C-Bitrix

There is a product catalog, in which there are dozens of sections with nesting sometimes exceeding 4 levels and about 10k product names.
The question arose - how to display links to all sections and section elements in a tree form on a separate page? It seems to be a trivial task, but I could not find a suitable solution.

The sitemap is built based on the specified menu types. Menus themselves are static, even when you build menus based on a directory structure - it's still a concatenation of a static (usually empty) array of menu items and a second generated array of sections.
Therefore, display a site map on the page and separately display a component that will draw you the entire structure of sections and elements. You can modify the template of the standard "section structure" component by adding CIBlockElement::GetList to it, or you can immediately display sections and elements via GetList, without any components, remembering to connect the infoblock module.
