Magento - Add Custom Widget Options

Question

Can I add custom "Widget Options" (like text input fields) in a new instance of the widget?

If so, how can I do this?

[edit] I also want to know if an extra table from the database can be used to store data from text fields. [/ Edit]

I am using Magento version 1.4.2

Thank you so much

The widget parameters are defined in the widget.xml widget widget.xml . All you have to do is add a new entry to the <parameters /> and it will appear in the widget interface in the administration area. There is a good tutorial on the Magento website in which you will find everything you need to know about widgets.
