I’m also interested in something like this, and made a similar attempt here:

Silverbullet doesn’t support multiple panes/split windows/etc, but does have “panels” that I was curious if I could abuse. Originally I was going to make a side panel that just has a simple text box, but then I realized I could make that side panel have an iframe to silverbullet itself. Since silverbullet is pretty minimal , we just have to hide the too…

It’s not exactly what you want, but it can be used to open another “pane” with any note, not just one named scratch like what I used.
