When a user adds a widget to the room, make the resulting event clickable in the timeline to open the widget

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.

Have you considered any alternatives?

You have to do this anyway as not all users will be on a client which has the widget state event clickable to jump to the widget

Fair point, but still would like the convenience for Element Web.

Why not add the layout event to force Element Web to show the widget in an appropriate container?

@Half-Shot does the above suggestion help?
