Ahh, "in a cell", now that is an entirely different question.  I do not 
believe that this is possible.  I've tried, but I have not found a 
workaround to the unimplemented part.

I thought you wanted to keep the wideget (data) with the text (or 'empty' 
-- not text) items.  I have used this so clicking on the text performs 
some action in a related widget (or shows it or whatever).
