Static Widgets across Dashboard Tabs

Excited to see where the Dashboards feature is headed!
I'd love to see some sort of a Shared Sidebar or Navigation where widgets can be added that persist on every tab of that dashboard.
For example:
I'm working a Project Manager dashboard. Right now my projects have multiple associated records (tasks, deliverables, meetings, etc) and all of those tabs only show records linked to the project that is selected in the first tab.
If I'm viewing Deliverables for Project A and want to change my project context, I have to switch back to the first tab to select Project B, then go back to Deliverables (or alternatively have a project selector on every page that doesn't share state.)
That's a bit clunky, so having a shared "sidebar" or header (that could have visibility toggled on/off inside each tab for that specific dashboard) would be quite helpful!

Hello Caleb Cook! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific widgets would you like to see in the shared sidebar or header?
- How often do you switch projects while working on different tabs?
- Would you prefer the shared sidebar to be customizable for each dashboard?

- Primarily Filter and Record widgets, also likely text and button rows.
- Our team switches the selected project frequently since we are all managing multiple projects.
- I see it as being a separate drag-and-drop sidebar "zone" for widgets, customizable for that specific dashboard. Then in the Navigation settings (or on the sidebar "zone" directly, being able to toggle that "zone" on or off for that tab. Any widgets dropped into that zone would persist on any tab that it's enabled for.
