About the side quick link navigation.

Below is a complete example including navigation selection style. You can choose the part you need to use according to the situation.

<script>
  const htmlstr = `<div class="py-2 px-3 mt-3 small fw-bold quick-link">Quick Links</div>
   <a class="nav-link" href="/link1">
     link name
   </a>
   <a class="nav-link" href="/link2">
     link name
   </a>`;

  window.onload = function () {
    const navUser = document.querySelector('#sideNav a[href="/users"]');
    const navQuick = document.querySelector("#sideNav .quick-link");
    if (navUser && !navQuick) {
      navUser.insertAdjacentHTML("afterend", htmlstr);
    }
  };
  const timer = setInterval(() => {
    const navUser = document.querySelector('#sideNav a[href="/users"]');
    const navQuick = document.querySelector("#sideNav .quick-link");
    if (navUser && !navQuick) {
      navUser.insertAdjacentHTML("afterend", htmlstr);
    }
     
    // If you don't need to keep the selected style, you can remove the following code
    // nav active style start
    const links = document.querySelectorAll('#sideNav a[href^="/tags/"]');
    links.forEach((link) => {
      const href = link.getAttribute("href");
      const currentPathname = window.location.pathname;
      if (href === currentPathname) {
        link.classList.add("active");
      } else {
        link.classList.remove("active");
      }
    });
  }, 500);
  // nav active style end

  window.addEventListener("beforeunload", function (event) {
    clearInterval(timer);
  });
</script>
