Solution

  • It is not possible without manually updating all references of that widget on all pages it is used on.

    There is an alternative to run a SQL query against the CMS_Document table and look in the DocumentContent field for %yourCodeName% and do a simple SQL REPLACE(). Here's some documentation regarding widgets and the API.
