show a user-specific markdown widget in the home page

We want to be able to show a user-specific markdown widget in the home page.
t would be awesome if we could use the {{ .user.email }} substitutions in the entity field.
If so, we could have entities with the email as identifier and then markdowns relevant to the user inside that.
For context, we're trying to show cards of actionable items under each service and would like to show this markdown in a widget on the home page, so the user can immediately see what needs addressing in their services and where they should go to address each issue when they open Port

One way this could be done is having a preset "The current user" when selecting from the
_user
entity for a markdown widget. This way, we can display markdowns associated with the logged in user across the portal in any dashboard, whether it's the home page or in an entity.Our use case is displaying a custom markdown that we've generated for each user, showing actionable items across the portal all in one widget, from where we link to self-service actions to address each (see image).
Being able to display this in a widget directly on the home page for the user, so they immediately see what needs attention in a clear format, would be awesome.
This probably overlaps a bit with the custom widget idea, but this is almost certainly quicker to implement and would provide immediate value for us.
