For intuitive development, it would be useful if it were possible to modify widget IDs.  I am personally working with map widget IDs but I imagine it would be useful for any widget ID that can be leveraged to manipulate Experience Builder via URL parameters.  The auto-generated "widget_1" is acceptable but it would be much more intuitive to be able to assign meaning to that ID when developing solutions with Experience Builder.

Seconded here! For example, we were just working with this, and it would be much preferable to list our search widget in the URL as "search_widget" instead of "widget_11".

Adding my support here as well. It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to edit a widget ID in cases where a widget becomes corrupted, which is an issue I am currently experiencing. We rely on URL parameters that are sent to external systems, and when a widget ID changes, updating those parameters becomes both time-consuming and costly for our team.
