How to make a custom widget without the surrounding view?

[bmn]

I want to create a widget that doesn't have the social network design page wrapped around it. I would like to have JUST the widget render in the browser. This way I can access this page using an iframe to integrate into an existing site. I know there is a tutorial on how to do this by creating a custom php file in the root of my networks folder stucture, but as far as I know I can't implement the MVC style patterns associated with the widget framework.

Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the surrounding page from a widget? Or be able to use the Widget framework MVC pattern on a file within the root of the folder structure? I know I could write my own MVC pattern to suit what I'm trying to do, but if possible I would like to do it the official 'ning' way.
