Yes I know that. I have declared a edit.html

Does this mean that we have to declare edit views "edit.html"?

What I missing is:
If I write python classes and I get a object from a folder
with self.__getitem__('aName'). Then I whould like to give 
back the object with a edit view. But we don't have a 
standard way for to do that in Zope3. Except hoppe that
anybody is declare the view as "edit.html"

What do you think about this? Is this right?

The reason is for to get on this view, we have additional 
configuration information in the view. (CustomWidgetFatory)
This are configuration information how future objects
are created. 

My main question should be:
Can we take this important information how a object is 
created out of the edit view (CustomWidgetFatory)
to somewhere else like ZCML? 

Otherwise we can't create objects during a python process
in Zope3.

btw
Thanks Garrett, the widget framework is really a great work.
