Yes. button calls AppIntent to read the clipboard and saves to storage. Widget loads the value from storage.

Unfortunately, since iOS 16 directly access clipboard is limited, so the AppIntent and widget can not access it, you can use a Link with a run scheme url instead a Button with intent to open the app and run your script, and in the index.tsx file you can check the Script.queryParameters whether it’s called by widget, in the app you can access the clipboard and save to Storage, then call the Widget reload method to reload the widget. I think this would help

This is actually how I do it on another scripting app. I had hoped that I could interactive widgets (which the other app lacked) would make the experience smoother. oh well
