I'm contemplating doing some animations in a widget, and would like the
animation to be non-blocking. How do you achieve that in LCB?
At the moment a widget can ask for a single shot callback 'timer' using:
schedule timer in <seconds> seconds
A timer can be cancelled by using
cancel timer
When a timer triggers the OnTimer handler of the widget is invoked.
This is sufficient to do simple animations, indeed the clock shows a
good example of using it:

Hope this helps!
