Description
At the moment you have to explicitly open a sidebar box to allow it to except available widgets. In my humble opinion this is bad UX and the sidebar box should expand automatically when being hovered over with a draggable and it should accept the draggable to it's containing droppable/sortable as well.
The obstacles to overcome:
- Since the draggable in most cases overlaps the sidebar box when dragging over it ( unless you move really quickly ) it's hard to register a 'mouseenter'. This could be solved by setting the 'cursorAt' option for the draggable.
- Opening a sidebar box is trivial but activating the droppable/sortable only seems to kick in when the draggable has been released.

With #25952 it's now possible to drop a widget on a closed area. Would be nice to have it open too to place the widget to the correct position.
Maybe hoverIntent can help here.
