Agreed. It'd be neat if we could define a panel or a view with a new optional prop like
locationwith possible values like:primary(how it currently works, and the default)secondarywhich could be the new secondary sidebar.

Reacted by Camila Kuba Silva and Tony DehnkeI found the command "workbench.action.moveView", but can't use it move view to secondarySideBar directly.
await vscode.commands.executeCommand("workbench.action.moveView", { viewId: "data-script-list", destinationId: "workbench.view.secondarySideBar", });Can we have a webview in a secondary sidebar please ?
Reacted by Qiang Li and Bowen WangAny workaround for it?

Now that the secondary sidebar has fully landed, it would be great if extensions could add views directly to it.
I am hoping to use the secondary sidebar for a new "Commit Details" view in GitLens, that could possibly track the current line (like the line history) and also for showing commit details when we add the ability for having a full commit graph in an editor tab,
