Add Asset Selector Button to Sidekick

[sdmcraft]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the customer has to configure AEM Assets Sidekick plugin as repo level. Ideally, for AEM customers. this is an extra step to link 2 AEM solutions (Franklin and Assets). This process can be simplified by making AEM Assets selector natively available in the sidekick.

Describe the solution you'd like
The AEM Asset selector should be natively available in the sidekick. A sidekick configuration like "Show AEM Assets" can be used to control its visibility.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternative is to setup this up as custom sidekick extension as customer's Franklin repository level.

Additional context

I don't think we have those yet. Though I know a couple of instances where this has been asked for and implemented on a branch for evaluation:

• https://github.com/hlxsites/sunstar-engineering/tree/aem-assets
• https://github.com/hlxsites/takeda-ihs/tree/aem-assets

Then let's continue to add the button on the project side until we have usage and understand it.

Coming back to this issue after a while. The asst selector addon is currently being used by 7 customers.

@rofe , do you think we should consider adding the assets button to the sidekick by default?

@sdmcraft please do not post any customer names or data in public github issues. I edited your post to hide customer names.

Looking at last month's data, I can only find moderate usage from the one of the customers you mentioned above. I don't think this even justifies removing the EAT banner from the doc page, let alone adding it as a standard sidekick feature at this point.

Having the plugin configured in customer projects and customers putting it to use are different things. When I said usage above, I meant the latter.
