I admit-- I'm new to IDL, so let me continue in the 'why doesn't the
easy way work?' mode. Why can't you define a 'descendent' function of
widget_info() that wraps around widget_info(), adds a keyword, and does
what you want by looking at the base uvalue (where, I'm assuming, the
appropriate state information is stored)?
