I have developed an in-panel widget which is currently hosted in the header controller. The customer wants this widget to start at app startup but they have other widgets configured in each controller (header and the 5-spot usually placed under the search bar in the Foldable theme) to start at app startup. They also want to have this new widget opened along with the widgets in the other controllers.

It is my understanding that only a single in-panel widget per controller can be opened at a time. Does this mean that I need to create a new controller? 

I also considered changing my widget into an off-panel so that I can place it next to the Home button, for example. Can an off-panel widget instantiate a panel for its content? If so, how? The PanelManager does not appear to have any obvious function for this.
