Well, it's just interesting to see from where the vocabulary takes its 
mental images. In this case much of the words stem from early-mid 
20th-century bureautics and stationary, culminating by the Rolodex 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolodex>. Before that, people attached 
separate tabs onto specific pages in f.x. ledgers for indexing purposes.

So the tab (the protruding thing) was originally meant to be able to 
find a specific page or card (or groups of these). Later there came 
pages/cards with prepared tabs, but I think that the word tab only 
applied to the protruding part, not the content itself.

Content frame, content section or content panel in a tabbed 
sidepanel/sidebar - does not really matter for me as a translator, as 
long as I have this illustration before my eyes:

(you notice the extra "e" in "LO-HIG_SideeBar" ?.

Would be great to link to it in Weblate for strings referencing those 
definitions, screenshots are supported in Weblate
