I'm not sure I have an opinion on adding such a variable. It seems
reasonable but I haven't seen much use of web components yet. I'm also not
sure if e.g. the 'type' attribute is relevant if using a custom web
component.
But afaict you can change the tag already by overriding render() to replace
it, like:
class MyWidget(SomeWidget):
def render(self, *args, **kwargs):
# Swap <input> for <my-element>
return super().render(self, *args, **kwargs).replace('<input',
'<my-element', count=1)
