You say "the logic associated with various widgets is hard-coded inside with the widget itself". Well, that's encapsulation.
I think you maybe need to explain further what logic you refer to and what widgets Unfortunately the fields for the property panels are very much tied to the TargetManager which is tracking what model elements are currently selected and that reduces the reuse we can get out of them. There is a replacement module being developed for the model element properties that reduces this dependency. Rather than a panel for each model type we have a single panel that is built dynamically from an XML description. When the target changes the panel is rebuilt with the fields required for the latest model element selected. So the controls for the fields on the panel no longer need to depend on the TargetManager. You can run this from eclipse using the "ArgoUML XML Property Panels" launcher to see work so far.
