So why exactly does this "Open in Dashboard" feature still exist in Safari?

Works for me 
Its a very useful feature. If you have a certain part of a webpage you regularly get information from its very good. No need to keep firing up safari to view it. Just open Dashboard.

Maybe it's a problem with Snow Leopard then? Because any time I use it all I get in Dashboard is a white square. I don't recall trying to use it for the 3 years I was using Leopard.
Works fine on Snow Leopard here (first time ever trying it actually!). It might depend on the nature of the content you're selecting?
It's now 2014 - is DASHBOARD relevant to begin with?
I use Mavericks, as well as such 'customisers' as MacPilot & Alfred.
I've never used, never liked Dashboard & through MacPilot (or you can do it through Terminal), I've disabled Dashboard.
I also use this little piece of software named Fluid, which serves the purpose of 'Open in Dashboard' (and more) for those few items I do repeatedly access.
It gives you a tile - which in my case, I keep on my desktop - and click on it when needed.
These tiles 'open' what for all all purposes, is a browser - but, one which is extremely lightweight and is only just for the page/area I need (i.e., the NY Times).
