Description

Suggested features:

Where one adds the .md file being displayed, could one have the option to upload a second or third file? Resulting in having several boxes on the dashboard?

To have the option to name/title the widget differently than just "welcome" would be awesome. For simplicity perhaps the filename of the .md-file. Like, "Last month summery.md" plus "This month outline.md" The various uses for such an widget would be immensely greater than being limited to just "welcome". On NC19 we every week updated 4 notes on our post-login "dashboard" using Quick Notes. Something similar could perhaps be achived with an expanded version of Welcome.

Research direction

Start with the existing Welcome widget and the part that selects and displays its .md file. Review how the dashboard currently names the widget, then define the behavior for multiple files and distinct titles. Done means several markdown-based boxes can appear on the dashboard with separate names.
