I think what you are asking to do is not possible. At least not cleanly. Why?
Because the actual rendering of sidebars and widgets happens in the template files. get_sidebar()
gets called from a template file which then calls the WP_Widget::widget()
method for whichever widgets are assigned to the sidebar in question. But this happens after the wp_head
event is called (usually from the header.php
template) and scripts queued for the head are printed. So you can’t know whether your widget will be actually be loaded by a given theme’s templates for the page body on any given page until after the <head>
has already been sent.
The most you can know is that if a theme template calls a sidebar in which the widget is active, it will be printed to the page output — which is what is_active_widget()
tells you.
