add widgets to dashboard for easy access for clients?

I’m going to trust my gut can agree with brasofilo.

As a work around, why not just create a custom post type and then have the widget pull content from that instead of the widget’s instance? You can make it so the widget accepts a post ID # and only pulls from that ID for that widget’s instance.
