That's what I don't like about elementary - new slightly
different widgets just keep getting added, instead of making the
existing widgets more general purpose.  You can pretty much get away
with a button that can be a container if it is general purpose enough.
I have an ancient design for that, which I might get around to
implementing some day.  I called it Not A Widget Set.  lol

Though I'm seeing some effort in consolidating widgets and making them
use the same API.  There's hope for elementary yet.
