Comment (by LewisCowles):

 Hi @swissspidy,

 Gutenberg already indirectly uses `WP_Query` that's how `get_posts` works.
 The issue is that there is no way to hook what is sent to `WP_Query` in
 either the gutenberg widget (which has a confusing name, hence `ui` tag),
 or `get_posts`.

 I am looking into `WP_Query` but Imagine it will have the same result or
 lack of control (I only want to curate recent/latest posts).

 Thanks for letting me know about Gutenberg. I will be raising an issue on
 the GitHub, but it looks like any change would likely need to be in core
 also (as it's simply using core, and the functionality I'd like is buried
 within a widget class).

 I can understand why things are the way they are. But I also believe I can
 make them better without changing the main or edge cases.
