I tried to add some Notes db views on the client Sidebar, but I could not do it, I always had to deal with frameset containing it, etc.
Many Notes friends had my same feeling until.... I saw a post by Mary Beth AND a comment (#2) written by Brian Leonard about a nice trick!
Here is the story.
When I specify the Notes view to add on the Sidebar panel, I have to use the special notes:// URL sintax, kind of http:// sintax for Domino web application:
notes://myserver/dbname(or ID)/myview(or ID)?OpenView
BUT whenever I tried to use that sintax, somehow I could not see the only view itself BUT also the frameset hosting it! I just wanted the plain view.
Mary Beth suggested to resize the db navigator frameset, hiding the left navigator, whilst Brian wrote about using a URL parameter for the notes:// sintax: &HideNavigator
notes://myserver/dbname(or ID)/myview(or ID)?OpenView&HideNavigator
Now I can finally add any views on my Sidebar: to-do db, CRM customers, CRM most recent activities, ...
Whenever I click on any document from the Sidebar-embedded view, the document will open full page.
Such a simple trick, such a nice result.
My only wish is that some guy at IBM will develop a really easy procedure that can be used bu end-user user: they would like it! ;-)

thanks for the tip, I tried to embed a view in the sidebar and got the same results (navigator). this tip solves that problem. odd that this option is not available from the widget dialog...
