Comment (by westonruter):

 Note to do this sanely, we'd need to implement #28216.

 With that committed, we'd be able to introduce a new property like
 `WP_Widget_Recent_Posts::$post_type` which can then be used to determine
 the widget's name, description, and `id_base`, and more importantly to
 determine the `post_type` used in the `WP_Query` in the
 `WP_Widget_Recent_Posts::widget()` method.

 See [attachment:35990.0.diff].
