You could put a WebPartZone there, and allow users to select what they want in there. For the CQWP you could specify a custom XSL file, maybe create a custom CSS file - all quite possible. In fact, the Context Query Ticker Web Part (see my Software page above) does this. But yes, sounds a good approach Yeah, an appropriately styled CQWP would do the job nicely.

I am excited to see this taken to the next level. If we could render a link list here, but keep it styled like the quicklaunch (headers and sublinks) it could be very useful. I think a CQWP and/or the rigth XSL could do the trick. I am currently using a JavaScript function I created that writes to this area inorder to render a secondary quicklaunch on every page within a site. I have to manually manipulate the code everytime the links need changing so its far from ideal. At least I only need to updated it in one spot, though. Perhaps, the method you're describing here will allow simple list management to populate the secondary quicklaunch. Andy, I really like where you’re going with this.
