 Looking at how the configuration options are currently done, it appears
 that all four built-in RSS widgets (three Dashboard widgets and a sidebar
 widget) use the same form which is generated by `wp_widget_rss_form()`.

 In my reading of the existing setup, we'd need to add a couple of
 additional arguments to the array passed via
 `wp_dashboard_newsfeed_control()` to `wp_dashboard_rss_control()` as well
 as `$_POST` handlers for that data. `wp_widget_rss_form()` would need
 corresponding key/value pairs too. Then there'd need to be a switched
 based on the `$widget_id` to activate the secondary title and URL fields.

 That's if we stick with modifying the existing rss control, CMIIW.
