Hello @JiaJunS ,

There is one widget which is globally present ootb so you just need it to call in your custom widget :

First call that in your server >

Then after fetching and passing the required parameters in server script call it in a HTML Template of widget editor >

You will now get the pre built ootb widget in you custom widget >

If my response helped mark as helpful and accept the solution.
