Feature request: Additional sidebar entries

[jakob-wirbel]

Hi all 👋
thanks for the amazing package, first of all! :)
I was just wondering if it would be possible to create custom entries into the sidebar. As far as i have understood, you can create a section called "Links" by entering them into the _pkgdown.yml:

home:
  links:
  - text: Check out the the source code
    href: https://github.com/your_awesome_project

However, I also wanted to include funding sources on the website and thought it should be possible to include other, custom sections into the sidebar.
I tried

home:
  links:
  - text: Check out the the source code
    href: https://github.com/your_awesome_project
  funding:
  - text: We are grateful for funding through the ministry for education and research

Also, is it possible to include images in the sidebar using the same syntax?

Thanks!

Here's how one would add a funding component.

home:
  sidebar:
   structure: [links, license, community, citation, authors, funding, dev]
   components:
     funding:
       title: Funding
       html: We are grateful for funding through the ministry for education and research.
