Make map (and other) widget IDs available in Experience Builder GUI

There is a need to manipulate Experience Builder thru URL parameters. To interact with specific widgets such as manipulating a map and its display, one needs to access the map widget ID in order to pass a URL parameter to it. This can be found in a roundabout way as described in the community post here, but this seems unnecessarily complicated. It seems like it would be fairly simple to just display the widget ID in the Experience Builder GUI. It could be displayed with a hover/tooltip over an information bubble "ⓘ" to help keep the interface clean.

If other widgets have IDs that can be used to manipulate Experience Builder, they would also benefit from the same ease of finding the widget ID.

Seconded! (At volume, while holding a pitchfork.)

URL Parameters are useful, but to implement them you need to identify the WidgetID and the Active_Datasource_ID. By opening up the backside of the Experience, turning on an unusual option, jiggling the map, turning off the unusual option, and backing out of the Experience.

Why no Python code option? I give the script the AppID of the Experience and am returned a dictionary of all the stuff I need to have on hand to implement URL Parameters. ...doesn't even need to be strictly python. With what I learned in my most recent foray into online tools, maybe some kind of response using the urllib would work fine?

I don't know how to set that kind of functionality up on my own.
