Hi Jonathan,
If I understand you correctly you are talking about a dispose mechanism, which will remove the widget from the page. Currently it is not available out-of-the-box, we may include it in the future.
What you can do now is
unbind all existing event handlers from all elements of a widget and then
remove it from the DOM. In some causes you may want to
unwrap a widget element from its additionally added parents, e.g. as is the case with ComboBoxes and DatePickers.
