For users who want it detached, they have F5 to open it up in that manner. I
guess when code is in to detached sidebar tabs (bug 85905), then doing so for
the navigator would be included.

Currently if you double-click a page, it expands/contracts it and if you
double-click an object, the object doesnt show that its selected (meaning the
resize squares dont appear)

Seem this functionality is broken in 4.4 and master.

Yes additional context menu entries would be added if applicable. Yes it would
be ideal for them to have unified behaviours.

It would be available in the context menu. GIMP uses spacebar to show/hide a
layer.

Yes using corel draw's object manager as a reference is a good idea, which i
did lockup at when creating the mockup, though most of the reference came from
my usage of gimp and photoshop.
