Example other sidebar's
- left: the NC sidebar can be integrated, so no need to have two sidebar's
- right: you can show a document from your cloud storage. this can be an md file as in this example, but also an office file or a pdf where you can copy stuff.

Technical it can be done with an iframe which show the mobile version of the webpage and as every webpage has a mobile version, nearly every webpage can be used. Some usefull examples
- translation page
- github
- image search
- todo apps
- calender or any of the cloud app
- (Libreoffice) help page
- Support page
- emoji
- DMS stuff
Now
Cool offers a very usefull sidebar which can be shown by
The arrangement is always different and most of the time fare away from where the sidebar will be shown.
Idea
I would suggest to make an vertical toolbar with all the sidebar commands. Like we have at LibreOffice, google docs, MS Teams, ...
For easier understanding (and better accessibility) I would suggest to show the vertical toolbar with icons + labels for the different sidebar decks. By click on the vertical toolbar the sidebar can be collapsed (as we did with the tabbs in the tabbed view).
Advantage
The advantage is that we first have the commands where the sidebar is located but the biggest advantage would be that we can use the sidebar for extensions like in the above image an iframe to the mobile page of google tranlsate. Which would be an very easy extension but usefull.
