For some use cases, it would be useful to update the API to allow multiple widget instances from the same dashboard widget

** Example **
For social media widgets you maybe want one widget for each account you have
Also in Deck it would be nice to have a widget for "Today per user" as descriped here.

Research direction

The issue mentions updating the dashboard widget API but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the dashboard widget API and its handling of widget classes, then clarify the design for multiple instances, including how separate configurations such as social-media accounts are represented; done means multiple instances of one widget class can be created and used independently.
