[Plugin: Widget Entries] Possible to reference a specific widget in a template?

How I usually do this is to create a new Widget Area in the functions.php and call for that widget area in the PHP template and just add the Widget Entries widget to the widget area under Appearance > Widgets. This makes it easier to swap out different widgets or Widget Entries widgets without having to go edit the PHP template file if the user decides to use something different in that area.

Here is a very simple tutorial on how to do this:
