Description

Non static inner classes are annoying to extend because you cannot do it in a separate file. If I want to customize the entries, I have to extend OptionListWidget as well and I cannot split the code into multiple files.

Research direction

Start by locating the OptionListWidget.Entry declaration and its references, including the enclosing OptionListWidget class. Verify how Entry is extended and constructed from another file; done means custom entries no longer require subclassing OptionListWidget, with the project’s available tests still passing.
