As I understand it now, this isn't true:
You can insert user-created widgets from another parent component and have their properties configured with expressions:
# Personal widget
uid: widget_4064e9fb1e
tags: []
props:
parameters:
- description: A text prop
label: Prop 1
name: prop1
required: false
type: TEXT
parameterGroups: []
component: f7-card
config:
style:
display: flex
justify-content: center
slots:
default:
- component: oh-link
config:
text: =props.prop1
class:
- margin# Inserting the personal widget and configuring prop1 with an expression
component: widget:widget_4064e9fb1e
config:
prop1: =2+3

Thanks for the hint!
In the widget editor, properties are not evaluated, openhab/openhab-webui#2007 adds a note about that.
