I don’t have the function in front of me but, obviously, the title attribute is dynamic (as is the Page Title) and they just use the same value that’s stored in the database in both locations.
It sounds like you would have to modify the related database table to accept an “attribute slug”. But, then you get into having to be able to modify administration to be able to submit the slug, etc., etc.
Or, use one of the existing columns (and it’s related text field in admin) might be used for a quick hack.
Hope this helps.
(Sorry for any confusion I caused with my first reply!)
You can do this from within administration.
– Login
– choose “Presentation”
– choose “widgets”
Drag your “Pages” widget to the sidebar area. Once there, a little icon in the “Pages” bar will appear. Click on it. A small configuration box appears. Place your cursor in the “Title” field and press the spacebar (to make the “Pages” title disappear in your sidebar) or type whatever you want to appear as your “Pages” title.
HTH-
