I suggest you to use ActionStack in this case to put "authAction" to the
stack (you can do this in the dispatchLoopStartup() method of your plugin).
So in it's turn IndexController::authAction will put all it's output to the
named segment as shown:

[IndexController.php]
...
public function authAction()
{
[some logic]
$this->_helper->ViewRenderer->setResponseSegment('auth');
}

[layout.phtml]
<div id="sidebar">
<?= $this->layout()->auth ?>
</div>

And I guess you still can use _forward() freely since responseSegment was
redefined in authAction.
