I would love to be able to assign a widget as 'the cursor'. Feasible?

That depends on what you'd expect such a thing to do
As far as I'm aware no platform allows an arbitrary window or similar object to be used as a cursor - usually your just allowed images. If you want a cursor which only appears within a LiveCode window, then that is potentially feasiable but I'm not sure making it work outside of the context would be possible.

What I'm looking for is an easy way to define a hi-res mouse cursor without having to export multiple images. A widget displaying a path could be resized and the raster image could be used. This, of course, can all be done by the developer manually. It was just a thought.
Of course, we still have the problem of cursors not supporting a hi-res version as reported in #11984. It would be great to get that resolved.
