Comment (by celloexpressions):

 As much as I'd love core to support playlists and galleries in widgets,
 it's probably best to focus on single media files first so that we can get
 something in.

 It looks like we're already past this point, but the UI for
 WP_Customize_Media_Control supports previews of some sort (in some cases
 just the type icon and title) for any media type, so we may be able to
 reuse some of that code. It does leverage the underscore.js template
 framework for customizer controls, though, so it may not be an easy direct
 port. The strategy of non-imgage/video/audio handling would probably work
 well though, with a simple link being rendered on the frontend.
