I have something of a love-hate relationship with the TiddlyWiki sidebar. I 
love being able to customize what buttons are available, what's in the 
tabs, and so on. 

But the large margins can pose problems, and while it's easy to add 
something to the sidebar, it still takes a few seconds, which can be 
inconvenient when you're trying to navigate between having various elements 
locked on the side of the story river. 

As I mentioned in my other thread 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/NIk0wqoa2zc>, I'm in 
the process of organizing my Dungeons and Dragons campaign notes, and one 
of the ways that I tend to think most intuitively is by visuals, by maps in 
particular. I've already found ways to import images into my TW, and to 
post image tiddles into the sidebar, but the problem is, the sidebar is 
often small, and while I can obviously go into the layout and resize it, 
doing so repeatedly is a little tedious. I'd have to increase the sidebar, 
look at the map, then decrease the sidebar so I can look at my notes. 

As mentioned in that same thread, I've been trying to find some way to 
merge the multi-page functionality of standard CSS with the 'bite size' 
pieces from TiddlyWiki. If I were to go that route, there are obviously 
numerous plugins to zoom in and pan around an image file, such as 
ImageViewer <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/NIk0wqoa2zc>. 
However, what I'd love most of all is to have the 'map' widget (which is 
what I would be using these plugins for) to take up roughly half the 
screen, then have the river take up the other half. I've tried using the 
map in the sidebar, but the problem is, the sidebar wants to contain a lot:

TW title, all of the various tabs like for recent pages, and the contents 
of those tabs, not to mention the margins for each of those elements. I 
wish I could make a secondary sidebar, with *just* the map. Then I could 
minimize the true sidebar, just use the 'map sidebar', until I need to 
close a bunch of pages, or make a new tiddle, etc. 

The ideal scenario is to have multiple different pages (as discussed in the 
above-linked thread), then each page as a 'map module' either separate from 
the sidebar or unique to the sidebar for that page. It doesn't scroll or 
resize itself alongside the story, it does its own javascript stuff. 

So, is it possible to somehow insert external javascript applications (such 
as the ImageViewer plugin) into a tiddle in the sidebar?
