I've wanted a multi-rooted sidebar tree for a long time, but haven't had 
time to do it. If the implementation is right it would be great for naut 
2.4.

Comments:

The toplevel nodes should not be named "/", but instead some descriptive 
name, and have custom icons.

You should be able to add your own roots to the tree (with custom name and 
icon). 

I don't understand why you needed a home: uri. Having aliases for 
files like that is bad. It will lead to all sorts of problems.
