 There needs to be a REST endpoint to interacts with widgets. Current users
 can use the options api to interact with the data, but this is extremely
 limited. I would recommend that we look to WP CLI for pointer on how the
 api is laid out. Docs can be found here -
 https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/widget/ .

 One of the likely issues with if the is a view, how the html for a widget
 is rendered.
