At the time of writing, I do not see them being used for inter-package
references (If my understanding equals yours here, as in "references
between otherwise unrelated widgets".
The UUID? Well, it actually eases implementations a bit, since an
implementation can use the UUID as "domain" when requests are made, which
actually allows vendors to reuse existing infrastructure for security
checks and so on.
