Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

Make the text `WidgetName widget added by User` clickable, so that it automatically shows the widget in the side panel.

#### Why would you like to do it?

At the moment we have to explicitly tell the user to open the widget when one is created, which is suboptimal to a link:

#### How would you like to achieve it?

Make the link clickable (i.e. an anchor or button) to direct the user to the widget organically.
