Add a "Custom Widget" option — widgets are locked one-per-category, can't mix data source and visualization

Describe the problem Creating a dashboard has a "Blank Dashboard" option for full custom freedom. But inside widgets, there's no equivalent "Blank Widget" — every widget is locked under its own category: MonitorList under Monitors, Chart under Metrics, etc. You can't, for example, pull Monitor data into the Chart visualization — each category only works with its own data source.

What I want A "Custom Widget" option where I can independently choose:

  1. Data Source — any of Monitors, Metrics, Logs, Incidents, Alerts, Security Events, Traces, SLOs, or External Data Source
  2. Visualization — any type (Chart, Table, Gauge, Stat, Bar, Pie, State Timeline, Heatmap, etc.), not restricted by data source
  3. Configuration/Settings — fields, filters, Group By, colors, tooltips — fully user-defined
