Options around "No Legend" message in the legend widget

[KFunahashi_SSMMA]

I have a map set up to where none of the layers are to display until you zoom in to the map close enough.  I would like to use the space where the legend says "No Legend" to instead tell the user to zoom into the map in order to view the map data.  Is that something I can do?  

Or alternatively, show the legend for all layers regardless of zoom extent?

Unfortunately it looks like using the out of the box Legend widget there is not a workaround, you would either have to show data at all extents or go the custom widget route and modify the out of the box legend widget in Developer Edition.
