It is, yes.

I haven't looked at these widgets, but presumably they use the Widget.system() function to place the text on the clipboard.

One can insert text into TextMate by calling for example:

osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to insert "\alpha"'

And from a widget, one can wrap that in Widget.system(…).

It is also possible to add “as snippet yes” to the line, so that the text inserted is treated as a snippet.

A downside is that AppleScript/osascript is slow, so there will be a delay from clicking the item in the palette, till the text is inserted in TextMate.
