Of course, that argument only holds if we consider this requirement an edge case, which I think it is. If this is a more common scenario we could also add an @WidgetAttached annotation to get rid of the AttachHandler boilerplate or implement the suggested @TemplateOverride.

I agree as well. I'd only add that if we find out later that this *is* a common requirement, I'd prefer the declarative approach (either @TemplateOverride or a new attribute in @Templated) over the simplified-but-still-programmatic approach of @WidgetAttached methods.
