Not sure if this has been brought up or not, but I just thought about it while looking at one of my character pages.

I'll use her as a example. There is her normal current aged self, but for some RP's I'd like to go back a few ears, maybe to her mid/late teens.

Obviously there will be a few things different but most will be the same. But it's late and I don't much feel like copy/pasting each separate line in the vital info box....What if we could you know...copy the Whole widget? I could pull it over to the 'younger' page of her character sheet and just quick change the things needed changed. I'll be honest and say I'm not sure how many others might find this useful, but for those that do the same as my idea or have multiple character settings etc. it might be at least a little helpful?

Something like this was discussed in the distant past. I think what I came away with there was the impression that this would be extremely, fabulously useful for a minority, but completely unused by most, and in the meanwhile very complicated to build. I had decided against it in favor of putting the time into other features that would be more widely used. I'm sorry you're running into this and I don't have a more satisfying answer!

A solution is to emulate the basic info widget into a regular text widget. You'd have to use the list code, but as it's plain text copying is super easy. It will give you ease of access and it looks pretty much the same as the stats widget.

It's a tiny bit more work, but honestly, if you just copy and paste the last two bullet over and over, it's the same amount of work to fill in as the widget is.
