Comment:

 Yes, the same effect can be achieved in two different ways. See
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/10/24/widget-improvements-in-
 wordpress-4-9/ dev note]:

 > Having separate media-specific widgets helps with discovery and allows
 us to provide streamlined interfaces for each media type. For example, the
 Image widget now has a field specifically for supplying the link URL (see
 #41274), and the Video widget now provides more guidance to users when
 supplying external URLs (#42039). The media-specific widgets are closely
 aligned with blocks in Gutenberg; the existence of media inside the Text
 widget will align with eventual nested blocks in Gutenberg, and would be
 treated as Classic Text blocks in any future migration from widgets to
 blocks.
