Thanks for the reply! Your guess was right: I want to expand your mini- contollers approach, by giving each widget a "settings" page, which is loaded through ajax after a user clicks the "edit" button on a widget. This means I'll have to create controller and a view for the widget (edit.thml for example). In this case I would really like all the files belonging to a widget in one folder (element, component, model,view controller). It's not really a problem if it makes my code more complex, because it would make the widget-stucture easier to grasp.
Good to know it's possible, but I didn't quite understand your expanation on how to do this: "(3rd parameter iirc)". What does iirc stand for?
