In your main Library folder (the one in your hard disk's root
directory, not the one in your user folder), you'll find a folder
called "Widgets". In there you should see all the default widgets.
Right-click on one and choose "Show package contents", then you'll see
all the files that make up a widget. However I've just looked at the
Dictionary widget and it uses a plugin, so I don't think it will be
any help to you.

If you actually want the Dictionary app to open, how about trying UI
Scripting. It's fiddly, but it does allow AppleScripting of
non-scriptable apps. You can read about it on the Apple website.

Cheers,
