Is it possible to create new widget instances from within a Dashboard widget?

Question

This is a followup to this question.
It seems to be impossible to to simply keep already configured dashboard widget instances. An alternative way would be to recreate previous instances.

Is it possible to create new Dashboard widget instances from within another widget? I couldn't find anything about this topic, yet.

It is possible, but I don't know how. The Delivery Status widget allows you to open a new copy of itself. You can see the + sign in the screenshot in the help image.
