Comment:
Hi there,
currently you don't explicitly know who is calling this method, since it's
all called from the same view. Both Widgets call the same view as the view
is on AAdmin.
So this is conceptually not supported. That doesn't mean it doesn't work.
You can always check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer
To add a bit more context here, we did have an intermediate solution that
would have made this easier. A view per widget. We ultimately dropped that
approach to decrease complexity. A decision I still support.
My suggestion would be use an external library like `django-select2` or
`django-autocomplete` if you want to implement more sophisticated logic.
Please also keep in mind, the admin is not recommend to be used for
sofistikated user interfaces.
Anyhow, at the moment I would strongly advice against adding a "hint" to
the request. Since it's not safe against request forging and can lead to
unintended security issues.
