That requires navigating around and then returning to the home screen just to refresh. The best thing about skin widgets (imo) is not having to go anywhere because it's all on the home screen.
I don't use skin widgets on the bedroom HTPC because it's never up to date. I could navigate around and come back to the home screen but I might as well go the show itself if that is the case.
I can understand you not wanting to add certain things to skin widgets so it doesn't get blown up and over complicated from a users pov. This change however would in theory make it completely compatible with shared databases and possibly even work when upnp gets fully integrated as a MySQL replacement.
I'm not going to pretend to know what sort of work is involved for you to do this but it would make us shared database users very happy indeed!
