Description (*)

As a user I can easily add a Magento CMS Widget via PageBuilder Panel Menu.

Expected behavior (*)

Users should be able to add a CMS widget easily via the PageBuilder Panel Menu.

Benefits

• CMS Widget are still used by many clients who have migrated to PageBuilder.
• CMS Widgets are very flexible and their templates are quicker to customise that PageBuilder components.
• CMS Widget are a part of Magento CMS and should be easy to use.
• With the current interface of Magento PageBuilder the UX for add/editing CMS widgets is very poor and difficult for most users.

Additional information

Currently the only method of adding CMS widgets in PageBuilder is hidden in the inner settings of the Text and HTML Code elements. Many users/merchants find this difficult to find and edit.

I am also voting for this. There is a workaround by adding the widget via a text component, but having a widget component would make live so much easier. Especially when the widget preview is shown.
