Maybe it could be implemented into threads (when they will get implemented). Basically channel threads could have webhooks. You could also set permission for a thread to only view message history? Kinda channel inside a channel.
I'm thinking of a dedicated persistent thread for the functionality you are describing, because in theory sidebar works for desktop displays, but for mobile there would really be no space to display channel and the panel for updates, bots, etc
