How can I show all open windows of a certain application using the sidebar (aka Ubuntu Dock)? Right now I have to right-click and select "all windows" to see my other open windows.
Is there a quicker way to do this?

I guess what you are looking for is done bySuper + Wunder Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity. It provides you with a tile-style view of all open windows. As you are using Ubuntu 17.10 with the Unity-like Gnome environment, the key might be different. Under Gnome you may as well just presSuperto get a tile-like view of all open applications. BTW: Super = Windows Key

I am not aware of any window-preview-on-mouse-hover feature, but you can activate previews of open windows on
Primary mouse button click by running
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action 'previews'shift+click by running
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock shift-click-action 'previews'Middle mouse button click by running
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock middle-click-action 'previews'shift+middle mouse button click by running
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock shift-middle-click-action 'previews'
(To find out all possible options for an action, run
gsettings range org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action
and so.)
As a side note, a GNOME extension called Dash to Panel puts the application icons to the top bar (and provides an option to move top bar to bottom) and also provides the window-preview-on-mouse-hover feature.

I'm not sure if I should accept this as an answer as it isn't exactly what I asked? But this works just as well!

@James If I'm not mistaken the preview-on-hover feature you're looking for is not yet implemented. But I would recommend not accepting the answer so that in future if/when the feature is implemented others will be more motivated to post a new answer.
