Sounds good so far -- IMHO update-widget-tree (right after the
update-children call) is the place to do it, but someone needs to design
an interface/protocol. By that I mean something similar to the
update-children/get-widget-for-tokens/update-dependents trio used for
handling URI tokens and selection within the tree.

There is also the question of whether parameters can modify the tree
structure. I would suggest avoiding this.
