Command-line tool netlist-paths uses a modified Verilator to produce a flattened netlist from Verilog and lets users query exact paths by specifying start end and through points. It prints full intermediate net names so timing-report paths map back to RTL, can list all paths into a register or show full logic cones, and handles large designs (author mentions a ~700 MB netlist from an Nvidia example). Currently ties blocks/processes but not variable-level linking; source on GitHub.
