I think those are not plugin based, but simply hardcoded.

The kfind part in konqueror (maybe not the big gui, but the backend) is 
certainly reusable. No need to reinvent that.

The sidebar is not very wide, so you won't get more than 3 tabs into it.

khelpcenter's sidebar is not extensible. It's just a QTabWidget with three 
tabs. Konqueror is about genericity. Not much is hardcoded, it's more a shell 
for all sorts of "plugins".
