It seems that widgets on macOS can only open the main app if you click on any button on the widget, so you can’t really control the app from a widget (which could be cool), What you can do is control it from the Status Menu Bar:
If you know any widget with abilities to control the app without opening it, or if you have a specific capability you’d like in a widget - let me know! send examples even. thanks!
