This is deliberately not available to applications. If you want to add a widget, you need to launch the selector UI for the user to pick the widget which will then take care of the bind. Widgets can expose a lot of private data of all types, so it is not safe to allow an application to arbitrarily bind to them without the user implicitly approving (through the selection UI).
