From the call I understand that there was a change in behavior for this saving widget state between Jupyterlab and Jupyter notebook. Where was that change documented, and the reasoning behind it (I would imagine in a Jupyterlab changelog).
Now imagine the experience from a user of Jupyter. The core widgets team understands why this might have stopped working, but that user won't. The current message is unhelpful, "Error displaying widget: model not found".
As a developer I would want a message listing the model name being searched for, and the models that are available to be loaded.
As a user, the context of why the model can't be found should be shown. If this is the desired behavior of JupyterLab, this isn't an error... but a message along the lines of "JupyterLab doesn't persist model state between saves because ???, to see this widget output re-execute the above cell".
Description
