SideBar should have a target call to open or close itself. Any URL linking to a View should provide the option to automatically open the side panel co

Any URL linking to a View should provide the option to automatically open the side panel containing it.

here is mock-up sample : (excuse my mspaint skillz)

A thousand times agree!!  This idea would greatly add ease of use for the user and allow ExB to function on par with the Sidebar Instant App.

Yes - needed! Related older post  with a gif to add to the mspaint skillz 🙂 https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-ideas/enable-button-with-link-to-view-to-ope...

I need a similar behavior where all pop-up results show up in a side panel.  Is that too much to ask?

Hi @FredericPoliart_EsriAU ,

In the latest AGOL update, we've added several new ways to open the sidebar from other widgets.

You can add Button Click - Open Sidebar message action to the Button widget; or add Views change - Open sidebar message action to the Views navigation widget; or use Record selection changes - Open sidebar from the List/Table/Feature Info widget.

However, we currently don't support opening sidebars using text widgets.

Regards,

Shengdi
