Check out the new widgets for Evernote. One of them has an expanded area underneath the widget we're used to that can show the last widget viewed, last updated, a specific notebook, tag or saved search. You might be able to tweak that to find what you want in one click (or see the list of Today's actions). The downside is that it's a 4x2 widget, so it takes up 1/3 of the screen.
