In more recent macOS's (such as Mojave), dragging the `~/.Trash` folder to the Finder Sidebar does not work properly anymore. When you do that, the sidebar text displays a `?` instead of `Trash`.

The `?` still works temporarily, but after you reboot or run `killall Finder`, and try to open `?` in the sidebar, you get the error `"?" can't be opened because the original item can't be found`.

Is there a way to add the Trash folder to the Finder Sidebar anymore? This used to work perfectly in Sierra and before.
