I don't think that is possible. When you reference the field inside
the template (with form.my_field) you are accessing a BoundField that
is tied to the formfield in question. From this BoundField you don't
actually have access to the widget. Rather you call as_widget or
as_hidden (or __unicode__ which calls as_widget). I don't see any way
in there to access anything that I add to my widget. Even if I could
access the widget directly, I wouldn't have the data to render since
that is in the BoundField. It seems to me that the only way to get
this to work is to make changes to BoundField (maybe adding some
BoundWidget class even) to allow you to get sub-widgets out of a
MultiWidget. Otherwise there simply isn't any way to access the sub-
widget while also passing the data and attrs to that widget.
