Programmatically open a widget that isn't On Screen

I'm publishing data from Robert Scheitlins Enhanced Search widget to another. I'm trying to open the widget whenever a search is performed. I'm using the Tab Theme and the widget I would like to open is in the Sidebar Controller.

I attempted this and can see the widget I want in the console but it's not opening. Plus I'm not sure if this is how you would go about it since it's in the sidebar.

var pm = PanelManager.getInstance();

pm.showPanel(this.appConfig.widgetPool.widgets[1]);

Robert helped me with opening an on screen widget, but I can't seem to figure this one out. Any help would be great.

Nevermind I found a thread from July 2016.
