Well, I dunno about pinning to the edge of the screen, but I have a 
"floating panel" running down the centre of my screen very often. It
is just visible and clickable-on, despite the apps covering much of
its edges up.

I'm not sure how practical a solution this is for other people, but
it works for me.
