Open In Sidebar option added to Search Actions in v1.9.9. There are limitations, however.
1. No POST engine compatibility
2. Sidebar must be opened manually by the user to see results
There are likely more issues but I haven't tested much.

I can give it a shot. If you have a github account and are familiar with sideloading, you can start a thread at the support site and help test the progress.
I tried that a while back but the sidebar isn't handled like a regular tab and some things simply won't work. POST engines fail completely as a result of the limited back-end. I'll give the API another look, but I think it's intended more for as a UI for the add-on, not an alternative tab for browsing or search results.
