Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
I would like the ability for plugins to tie into other default sidebar widgets (e.g. add functionality to an existing sidebar item).

Additional Information:
This issue would enable Sidekick to add a "Recover Components" selection to the symbols view, add a "rename structure members" selection to the types view, etc. This would improve its workflow.

Start by reviewing the public API and plugin integration areas related to default sidebar widgets. Define how plugins could extend existing widgets, using the symbols and types examples in the issue as requirements. The work is complete when the extension behavior and its validation are specified for those examples.
