Just to follow up, the solution I have thought of so far is to redefine 
the value of  'here':

  <div tal:define="here nocall:here/foo">
   <div metal:use-macro="here/widgetlib/macros/widget_1_view">
     Widget 1 view goes here
   </div>
  </div>

Which is pretty nasty, but really seems to be the only solution...?
