Experience with `ve.ui.TargetWidget`

Osnard

Does anybody have experience with the OOJS-UI widget ve.ui.TargetWidget[1][2] or ve.ui.MWTargetWidget[3] from the VisualEditor extension? It is used in “Extension:Cite” and in the “Insert Media” dialog of VE.

Does it need to be executed in context of a VisualEditor-page-editing-session? Or can is also be used in another context (e.g. in a OOJS-UI dialog opened in normal view mode or a page or even on a SpecialPage)?
