Well – one “solution” was to use either the “Easy Custom Sidebars” or the “Custom Sidebars” plugins (the 2nd one being a bit more powerful). That is enough to “solve” my issue, but I would still like to know how to do it manually and think that it MUST be possible since a plugin is only doing the manual work automatically.

So, I guess there is no ‘hurry’ on this, but if anyone feels like answering me just for the sake of learning, that would be awesome and I will give you a virtual high five and wink.
