First I would like to check if I understand this correctly. So, this means that a user can embed widgets from dashboard in wiki pages or ticket descriptions?
I do not se any problems with this at the moment but, this can not be a substitute for user customizable dashboard. We still need to provide fully customizable dashboard and compared to that I see this macros as lower priority feature.
