When one widget calls a routine in another widget, the thisButton collection and the thisID variable continue to refer to the (original) caller. This behavior should probably be changed.

Additionally, now that any widget can have a clickRoutine, the name of thisButton should perhaps be changed to thisWidget; however, this would require a fileUpdater change.

When one widget calls a routine in another widget, the `thisButton` collection and the `thisID` variable continue to refer to the (original) caller. This behavior should *probably* be changed. Additionally, now that any widget can have a `clickRoutine`, the name of `thisButton` should perhaps be changed to `thisWidget`; however, this would require a fileUpdater change.

I agree that thisID and thisButton should point to the callee.

I also agree with renaming but later.
