Why did you developed this plugin?

I developed this plugin because i found that i was writing HTML in text widgets and the sites needed to be edited by non technical people and inserting a page into a widget was the easiest way.

Can i use filters to change the plugin output?

Yes. There are two filters for each posts and pages output. For content postsinwidgets_content and pagesinwidgets_content as well as pagesinwidgets_image and postsinwidgets_image for filtering images.
