Global navigation sidebar for opened or unopened buffers

[wakatara]

I'm loving the look of the nano-sidebar, but I'm looking to create a "fixed" (as in the links to the buffers exist or can be opened whether you've got the buffer alredy open or not), but am having trouble figuring out how to force "links" to do things like open the buffer Org Agenda if it is not already open etc (which is GTD) in my normal nav..

This is the effect I am going for (yes, stolen from my Notion and recreated in logseq). I figured I can just move back to emacs if I can just crack this somewhat.

Is there some documentation on how I might accomplish this as trying to do this with "links" is not working as well as I would like though I may be missing the point of nano-sidebar entirely or trying to bend it in ways it was not intended.

Notion

Logseq

A "link" like GTD just points at agenda, while Log would point at the latest day logfile I have (in the form yyyy-mm-dd.org) though being able to "collect" up those types of files as a listing woudl also be amazing.

Anyhow, would love to know if nano-sidebar is the right tool to try to do this with... (or any idea you might have...).

I think it might exist but it may be beyond sidebar capability which is really a simple "container". One idea could be to use a specific org file with various links to your buffers/files since an org link light contain lisp code (see for example https://github.com/rougier/mu4e-dashboard). But probably someone has already coded what you want to achieve. Maybe if you ask on reddit (r/emacs), someone will be able to guide you.
