You need to use txp:article_custom
Either use it as a container tag or call a specific form to format the output. It can be anything from titles only to entire articles.

Below is a sample snippet I use to pull the 5 most recent galleries (title-only) into the sidebar:

<h3>Latest Galleries</h3>
<ul>
<txp:article_custom form="recent_items" section="photo-gallery" limit="5" />
</ul>

form recent_items:

<li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>
