Cloning HTML could produce duplicated IDs, which is bad and could introduce issues with other JS libraries or CSS. In my case, to warkaround this I wrapped up my templates into <script type="text/html"></script> and instead of cloning just doing $.html():

$(document).on('click', '[data-vex-toggle="modal"]', function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();

        var $trigger = $(this);
        var $template = $('script[type="text/html"]#' + $trigger.data('template'));

        if (!$template.length) {
            return;
        }

        vex.open({
            content: $template.html(),
            className: 'vex-theme-default'
        });
    });

You can place any HTML you want inside a dialog. You can do this by setting content in the options object you pass to vex.open(options), or you can manually append it yourself since you are returned the $vexContent jQuery-ed DOM element from the open call. So let's say you have a page like this:

<html>
<head>
    <style>.templates { display: none }</style>
<body>
    <header><!--- .. --></header>
    <main><!--- .. --></main>
    <div class="templates">
        <sidebar id="sidebarTemplate"><!--- .. --></sidebar>
    </div>
</body>

You could either do this:

vex.open({
    content: $(sidebarTemplate).clone()
});

Or this:

var $vexContent = vex.open();
$vexContent.append($(sidebarTemplate).clone());

Of course, you'll additionally want to set the className option property to style the modal on the left in the way you desire. I'd recommend looking at the recently added theme "Bottom Right Corner" for guidance there.

Ah, tricky. I’ve been struggling with passing html as strings but never thought to do that.
thanks a bunch
