I am currently evaluating Joomla for use on the the rebuild of our corporate website.

One of the features our designs have is spaces for what we've been calling widgets.

These widgets include common ones for each page, contact us boxes, section navigation, that all seem pretty easy to implement.

The other widgets we would us to highlight specific pages within the site relevant to the one you are on, and are therefore different for each article. We've called these link widgets and these are a pretty common site on many websites.

I'm honestly at a bit of a loss as to how to do this with Joomla.

From a CMS perspective I'd like to allow users to just select which three link widgets they want when editing the article and have some way of creating the widgets within the CMS as well.

Editing the link widget would allow setting a title, a bit of text and selecting the page that it links to.

Am I going to be able to do this with Joomla, and if I can roughly how to I go about it ?
