How do you mean "used"? Used where?

One thing's for sure, you *cannot* have a widget be an attribute to a 
widget.
So, you can have macros be an attribute to a widget,
but you *cannot* have a macrocall widget be an attribute to another widget
and thus dynamically evaluate macro parameters via other variables or 
text-references
unless your macro actually parses those themselves, e.g.

\define macro:(macro,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) <<$macro$ """$1$""" """$2$""" 
"""$3$""" """$4$""" """$5$""" """$6$""" """$7$""" """$8$""" """$9$""" 
"""$10$""">>
\define text:(reference) {{$reference$}}

<<macro: version>>

<<macro: now YYYY0MM0YY>>

<<text: {[tag[HelloThere]]}>>

<<text: HelloThere>>

Macros really are text-substitution patterns,
the wikification is handled elsewhere

   - by some widget(s) it creates
   - or by the widget where a macro is used as an attribute
   
Also, Javascript or Wikitext macros have different refresh behavior hinted 
at:

   - here 
   <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/1379#issuecomment-159906299>
   - and considered here: setvars-Refresh 
   <http://tobibeer.github.io/tw5-plugins/#setvars-Refresh>

Best wishes,

Tobias.
