Currently my solution (i don’t like it but it works) is this.
1. Create a Wp Custom Post Type called “layout elements”
2. Manually coded a widget with just a select containing all the records of “layout elements”
3. Created conditional custom fields for the layout elements records (a group of tabs fields controlled by a single select field)
The user creates a record inside the Layout Elements post type then he adds the widget to the layout and select the newly created record of “Layout Elements” from the select field.
I would love to see more compatibility on the widget side from ACF.
