You should find it rather easy to derive a set of widgets that have this 
kind of functionality. I've used that technique very successfully, 
although in my case, my widgets "plugs" into an existing property model 
rather than beeing generic.

I think the hard part of what you are proposing is to make something 
that is generic enough to meet everyones needs. There are numerous 
reasons as to why you'd typically need some logic in between the view 
and the application model.
