Can restrictions on the Open in Sidebar feature
There is no Template or Settings Catalog entry yet, as you probably observed already. Here you can find some info: microsoft-edge-policies
You could do two things to get this policy via Intune to your devices:
1. Create Powershell script to set the registry key (see the above url for the reg key), you can use a remediation script for that (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/remediations)
2. Or you build your won OMA-URI, see here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/configure-edge-with-mdm - this pretty advanced so I would opt for Powershell in this case
By the way we can expect this to be available more directly in Intune soon, I guess, but have no direct knowledge on when..

Thank you for your response.
I would be pleased if templates and settings catalogs could be made available soon.
Do you know if there's any place where such information, like "it's now available," is published?
It's great that Edge is developing various unique features, but it also makes management more challenging...Agreed in a corporate environment you need those controls as soon as the feature is available. But if really needed, they mostly are available day 1 through Powershell, ADMX import etc. But understood, nicest would be to have this in the Template controls, but this takes development time so I guess this is sometime a 'catching up game'.
There are several resources:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/in-development
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-relnote-stable-channel
Keep a close eye on those resources..
