as the others have said: this should happen in a panel.

what i see as being different in your mockup is a tab on the side of the 
screen that can be clicked on to pull out said panel. that would be a feature 
that belongs in plasma-desktop so that any panel could be similarly "tabbed".

this really isn't the sort of decision an individual plasmoid should make, 
however, as the assumptions are highly specific to the given shell (desktop, 
netbook, tablet, etc) and plasmoids should work "everywhere" as much as 
possible.

so an interesting experiment/direction could be to add a new kind of panel to 
plasma-desktop that has such a screen-edge tab.
