Widgets as Buttons

[J. Landman Gay]

It may just be a mobile problem (or maybe just Android) because on desktop 
an SVG widget responds when you click in a transparent area.

But to get a larger hit area you still have to make a group, because SVG 
widgets don't have margins and they always grow to fill their rectangle. It 
would be nice to be able to define a wide margin.

But if we ever get the ability to use them as button icons, that would be 
an even better solution.
