Have a custom page and admin panel point at the same widget?

We've a need to create an admin panel which shows the content from a particular (custom) widget, and also have a custom URL/page that shows the same widget. The admin page displays the widget correctly, but the custom page is blank & doesn't contain the widget.

If I disable the admin panel, the widget then shows up on the custom page.

I assume the admin panel has got there first, and made the widget somehow unavailable to the custom page.. is there any way around that?

        {
            AddWidgetToPage(controller, "my-pages", "/my/url", "Page List", "d3ab728c-5e18-4fec-9e89-fe8f6b174faa");
        }

        // Small helper to cut down on the clutter above
        void AddWidgetToPage(IUrlController controller, string InternalPageName, string URL, string PageName, string WidgetGUID)
        {
            controller.AddPage(InternalPageName, URL, null, null, PageName, GetSinglePageWidgetDefinition(InternalPageName, WidgetGUID));
        }

        // Helper method that simplifies adding a single widget to a custom page
        PageDefinitionOptions GetSinglePageWidgetDefinition(string InternalPageName, string WidgetGUID)
        {
            return new PageDefinitionOptions
            {

            }
        }

}

If it isn't possible to do this, that's fine (I guess).. but it feels like it should be possible & I've just neglected a setting somewhere.
