Is it possible to open two docks side by side at the same time on one edge? I simply do this in Vision.  
like example below that shown Info dock and edit node panel at the same time.

Are you asking for Perspective? If so, then no. A “rule” of Perspective is that only one Docked View may be expanded on any given side at any given time.

A planned future _container_ type would allow you to open multiple views in a split pane that would work something like what you’re describing, though.

Speaking of planned future container, do you have any plan for a container that can zoom in/out and pan by user and expose zoom level so it can be bind to object visibility? As I know zoom level of browser different from browser to browser, so make a container is better option for cluttering.

No. I’m not sure where the feature is on the backlog, but generally Perspective priorities right now are bug fixes/stability/performance over new component/container types (with a few exceptions that have been conspicuous gaps since Perspective was first released).

The Split Container nearly made the 8.1.16rc, but was bumped last-minute to 8.1.17. That container would allow for this sort of side-by-side View display. There is no plan to allow for multiple docked views to be displayed on one edge at this time.
