I think that Site.SideBar etc. are just default conventions. <br>
<br>
For example I use $Group.ArticleList for a group page menu, included in
the template with <!--wiki:$Group.ArticleList-->, and
<!--wiki:$DefaultGroup.SectionList--> for the group menu (as well
as <!--wiki:$DefaultGroup.DepartmentSidebar-->,
<!--wiki:$FullName-Sidebar--> and
<!--wiki:$Group.Sidebar--> for content sidebars in various
places).<br>
<br>
The following are embedded in the template for author access:<br>
<br>
<li><a href="$PageUrl-Sidebar?action=edit">Edit Page
Sidebar</a></li><br>
<li><a href="$ScriptUrl/$Group/Sidebar?action=edit">Edit
Group Sidebar</a></li><br>
<li><a
href="$ScriptUrl/$DefaultGroup/DepartmentSidebar?action=edit">Edit
Department Sidebar</a></li><br>
<li><a
href="$ScriptUrl/$DefaultGroup.SectionList?action=edit">Edit Folders
Menu</a></li><br>
<li><a
href="$ScriptUrl/$Group/ArticleList?action=edit">Edit Documents
Menu</a></li><br>
<br>
IOW an action=editmenu built into the core to access Site.SideBar would
be logically arbitrary, IMO. Even if it were easily configurable, there
is nothing that says one can have only one menu per page. In my case I
have two, but there are lots of navigation patterns that have three or
more.<br>

FWIW, <br>

I don't think so,
Site.SideBar?action=edit
is on the first tick a little bit unordinary, but you know exactly what
is beeing editing. an "editmenu" can be
Site.SideBar, Main.SideBar, <$Group>.SideBar, an includet page with if
conditions (:if group PmWiki:)(:include PmWiki.SideBarIncl:)(:ifend:)
and so on ...
