Comment (by westonruter):

 @FolioVision Being able to click convert the widget type is a nice idea,
 but given the state of modeling widgets in JS (or rather lack of modeling)
 it is a very challenging thing to do presently (in contrast to blocks in
 Gutenberg which have built-in support for transformations).
