hi, I'd like to combine different sources of video nodes into one. My understanding is this is currently not possible.

in which way?

you can link movies to tv shows - https://kodi.wiki/view/Linking_movies_to_TV_shows

you can show tv shows and movies next to each other in a widget in a skin if you modify the skin

what i dont think you can do is go into the Movies section and see TV Shows there

This bit is interesting: how would I go about that? Modifying so it shows movies next to tv shows or vice versa?

yes in the widget i currently have in progress tv shows and movies next to each other on the same row

skin is estuary

if you go into the skin files, xml/Includes_Home.xml, include name is WidgetListPoster

you can locate:

xml:
<content sortby="$PARAM[sortby]" sortorder="$PARAM[sortorder]" target="$PARAM[widget_target]" limit="100">$PARAM[content_path]</content>

this line can be duplicated to show additional items within a single row, content_path just needs to be a smart playlist or a videodb:// url

i copied the whole include to a new include definition that i use in Home.xml for a "Continue Watching" section on the home screen

inside Home.xml youll find sections:

xml:
<include content="WidgetListPoster">

which can be changed to your new definition

this hack is quite useful!

HOWEVER, it doesn't appear to solve my initial problem. 

Please implement a way to combine different sources of video nodes into ONE video node WITHOUT smart playlists.

Thank you
